1. Equation of Tangent: to find the equation of tangent: y’ = 2x = 4 at (2,4); then;

y=4=4 (x-2) and the x and y intercepts are at points (0.4) and (1.0). The area of
the triangle is A = (1/2) (b) (h) = ½ (4) (2) A=4

2. Take the first derivative of y: y’ =3x2 - 6x = 0;

Then, factoring: 3x (x -2) = 0; Extracting roots: x1 = 0, x2 = 2

3. x = t2 → t = ± √ x and y = 2t = ±2 √ x
y’ = (2)(1/2 √x) = 1 / √ x; Finally: y”= -1/2(x)3/2 = -1/ 2t3

4. 4a=8 or a=2=h; b=LR=8

Area = (2/3) (b)(h) = 213 (2) (8) = 32/3

6. y’ = 2 (cosx) d/dx cosx = 2cosx (-sinx) = -2sinx cosx = -sin2x

7. A = 4πr2 dA = 4π [r2 - (0.8r)2] 4.5r2 → %

E = (4.52r2 ) / ( 4πr2 ) = 0.36 x 100 %= 36%

8. y’ = 4x3 - 2x at P (-1, 2) → y’ — 4 (-1)3 - 2 (1) = -2 = slope;

By point-slope formula *The equation of tangent is: y -2= -2 (x+1) or 2x+y= 0

10. m1 = [3- (-2)1/ [-1 - (-3)= 5/2; in., = -2/5 = (0 -4)/[x - (-7)] or 2(x+7) =20; x=(20-
14)/2=3

12. A1 = πr2; A2 = π(0.8r)2 = 0.647πr2 —> ∆ A = πr2(1 - 0.64) = 0.36π r2

13. 2(3 + 5)h = 64 → h = 64/16 = 4 cm

14. 3x+4= 16—>x= 12/3 = 4;2x-5=2(4)-5=3

15. The sequence is Given By : { 1/3, 1/5, 1/7 1/9. 1/11, 1/13, 1/15, 1/17 }

16. dy/dx = 1/2 + (2/4) (cos 2x) ; cos 2x = -1, Cos-1 (-1) = 2x = π, then x = π /2.

17. 3 x2.+ 3 = 6x; then: x2 -2x + 1 = 0 or x =1 and y =4 or at point (1, 4).

21. The parabola’s vertex is at V(0,1); it opens up; The length of latus rectum is
LR=4a= 16:a=4

22. y’=6x2 -6x-36 → y”=12x-6 →4y’ ≠ 0; set y”=0

12x - 6 = 0, Therefore: x = ½

23. R = [1 + (y’)2 )]3/2

y’
y=2x2→y’= 4x at (1,2)
y’= 4(1) = 4, Substituting:
R = [1 + (4)2]3/2 = 17.52

26. Note: Cissoid of Diodes : y2 = x3/ (2a-x); Strophoid : y2 = x2(a+x)/(a-x); Cycloid:x

= a (θ sin θ) and y =a (1-cosθ)

29. NOTE: rθ = a is a reciprocal hyperbolic spiral; r = eao and θ = Lnr are both
logarithmic spirals

31. According to the Remainder theorem - “For any constant r, if a polynomial is

divided by the binomial x - r until the remainder R is free of x, then R = f(r).” Then,
Let:
f(x)=kx3-(k+3)x2+13;x-4 ↔ x-r → r = 4 and l57= f (4)
→k (4)3 - (k + 3) (4)2+ 13 = 157;
Expanding: 64k - 16k - 48 + 13 - 157 = 0 or
48k = 192,
Finally, k = 192/48 = 4

32. Sin A = 4/5 ; A in QII Sin B = 7/25 B in QI; By trigonometric Identities:

Sin (A+B) = Sin A cosB + cosA + 5mB; and substituting values:
Sin (A + B) = (4/5) (24/25) + (-3/5) (7/25) = 3 / 5

33. P = Perimeter of Polygon; P = 160; n = 8; P = nb; or 160 = 8b; Therefore: b = 20;

a = apothem of polygon ; n = number of sides of polygon;
and : θ = 360 / 8 = 450
P = 2(a)(n) [Tan (180o/ n)]; 160 = 2a(8)tan (180/8);
If cot(θ/2) = a / (b/2); then: a = b/2 cot (θ/2); a = 20/2cot
(45o/2) or a = 24.14

34. (2)log2x = 5; log2 (2)logxx = log25; log2x log25; log2x= log5; then: x = 5

35. Pr (x ≥ 4H) at n = S times; Pr (x ≥ 4) = Pr (x = 4H) + Pr (x = 5H)

Pr (x ≥ 4) = 5C4(1/2)4 (1/2)1 + 5C5(1/2)5 (1/2)0 = 0.1875

NOTE: The sample space and corresponding probabilities are:

{HHHHH) + (1/2)5 = 0.03125 and {HHHHT, HHHTH, HHTHH, HTHHH,

THHHH} Pr (x = 4) = 5(1/2)4 (1/2) =0.15625
∑ Pr (X) = 0.03125 + 0.15625 = 0.1875

37. logx (1/144) = -2 ; x> 0; 1/144 = x-2 ;1/ (12)2 = x-2; (12)-2 = x-2 x = 12

[1 - (Tan A)(Tan B) ] 1 - (l/3)(1/4)

41. [2 (Sin A)] / (2 Cos2A) = Sin A / Cos A = Tan A

43. By Pythagorean Theorem,

D2=([(4) - (4)]2 + [(-7) - (9)]2 = (6)2 + (16)2 = 292; therefore: Distance = 17.088
