MATH 55A FALL 3 PRACTICE MIDTERM SOLUTIONS Question Find te domain of te following functions (a) f(x) = x3 5 x +x 6 (b) g(x) = x+ + x+ (c) f(x) = 5 x + x 0 (a) We need x + x 6 = (x + 3)(x ) 0 Hence Dom(f) = {x R x 3, } (b) Te denominator of x+ needs to be non-zero, tus x Also + x+ + x + = x + x + 0 x + 0, or yet x Hence Dom(g) = {x R x, } 0, wat gives (c) We ave Dom( 5 x) = {x R x 5} and Dom( x 0) = {x R x 0} Since te domain of te sum is te intersection of te domains, we ave ie, tis f is not well defined Dom(f) = {x R x 5} {x R x 0} =, Question An electricity company carges its customers a base rate of $0 a mont, plust 5 cents per kilowatt-our (kw) for te first 00 kw and 7 cents per kw for all usage over 00 kw Express te montly cost E as a function of te amount x of electricity used E(x) = { 0 + 005x, 0 x 00 0 + 005 00 + 007(x 00), x > 00 Question 3 At te surface of te ocean, te water pressure is te same as te air pressure above te water, 5 lb/in Below te surface, te water pressure increases by 434 lb/in for every 0 ft of descent Express te water pressure as a function of te dept below te ocean surface Let be te dept below te ocean surface and P te pressure Ten P = 5 + 434 0,
MATH 55A FALL 3 wit P measured in lb/in and in ft Question 4 Compute te values of te following trigonometric expressions (a) sin 5π 6 (b) tan 9π 4 + cos( π 6 ) (c) sec 4π 3 (a) 9π (b) tan cos( π) = 3 (c) sec 4π = 6 3 cos 4π 3 = tan(4π + 3π) = tan 3π =, cos( π) = cos( π) = 3 4 4 4 6 6 = = Question 5 Prove te following formulas (a) sin x sin y = sin(x + y) sin(x y) (b) cos θ = +cos(θ) so (a) We ave (a) We ave so sin(x ± y) = sin x cos y ± sin y cos x, sin(x + y) sin(x y) = (sin x cos y + sin y cos x)(sin x cos y sin y cos x) = sin x cos y sin y cos x = sin x( sin y) sin y( sin x) = sin x sin x sin y sin y + sin y sin x = sin x sin y cos(θ + ξ) = cos θ cos ξ sin θ sin ξ, cos(θ) = cos(θ + θ) = cos θ sin θ Adding te above formula wit = cos θ + sin θ yields te result Question 6 Find all solutions to te following trigonometric equations (a) cos x = 0 (b) tan x = (c) + cos x = 3 cos x So tan 9π 4 +
or (a) We ave cos x =, wic gives x = π 3 + πk, x = 5π 3 MATH 55A FALL 3 3 + πk (b) We ave tan x = or tan x =, wic gives x = π 4 + πk, x = 3π 4 (c) Use cos x = cos x (see question 5) to write + cos x = 3 cos x, cos x 3 cos x + = 0 Tis is a quadratic equation for cos x Te quadratic formula gives cos x = 3 ± 9 8, 4 so cos x = or cos x =, wat gives x = 0 + πk, x = π 3 + πk, x = 5π 3 + πk + πk Question 7 Evaluate te following its, sowing tat te it does not exist wen tat is te case (a) x + x 3 x + 3 x 3 (b) x x x3 + (c) x 3x (d) x 0 x3 + x sin π x (e) tan x x π (f) ( x 0 + x ) x ( (g) x 0 x ) x () x π sin(x + sin x)
