APPM 1350 Exam 1 Fall 2023

1. (20 points) Problems (a) and (b) are not related.

(a) Determine all solutions of sin2 (x) = sin(2x) − sin(x) cos(x) in [0, 2π).
(b) If θ is in [π/2, π] and tan(θ) = −5/8, evaluate
i. sin(θ)
ii. cos(2θ)

2. (24 points) Evaluate the following limits and simplify your answers. If a limit does not exist, clearly state this. If
you use a theorem, clearly state its name and show that its hypotheses are satisfied.
(Reminder: You may not use L’Hopital’s Rule or Dominance of Powers in any solutions on this exam.)

|x2 + 5x + 6|
(a) lim
x→−2 x+2
(b) If 4x − 6x2 ≤ f (x) ≤ x4 − 4x + 1 for all x, evaluate lim f (x).

x→1
 
1 − tan y
(c) lim
y→π/4 sin y − cos y

3. (12 points) The function s(x) is graphed in its entirety below. It consists of two line segments and a portion of a
parabola. Use the graph to answer the questions below. For this problem, no justification is required for your final
answers.

(c) What is the domain of v(x) = s(x)? State your answer using interval notation.
(d) Provide a complete formula for s(x) as a piecewise-defined function.

4. (18 points) Consider the function g(x) = .
x(x − π/2)

(a) Identify all values of x, if any, for which g(x) has a vertical asymptote. Justify your answer by evaluating the
appropriate limit(s).

(b) For what value(s) of a is the following piecewise function h(x) continuous at x = 0? Justify your answer
using the definition of continuity.

h(x) =
a , x=0

5. (16 pts) A major movie studio has found that the function

3t3 − 9t
P (t) = √
4t6 + 5t4 + 5t
models their profit (in millions of dollars) from a certain movie t > 0 weeks after it was released.

(a) How many weeks after it is released does the movie studio “break even” on the movie? That is, when does
P (t) = 0 for a realistic value of t?
(b) How much profit does the movie studio make in the long run? In other words, what is limt→∞ P (t)? Use
correct units in your final answer.
(Reminder: You may not use L’Hopital’s Rule or Dominance of Powers in any solutions on this exam.)

6. (10 points) Correctly use a theorem to determine a closed interval in which x + tan x = 1 has a solution. (Be sure
to state the name of the theorem that is used and to clearly show that its hypotheses are satisfied.)
