Question: `q002. Now sketch the graph of a function y which starts at the point (0, 100), and whose slope at every t is equal to the value of y ' at t.

Thus, for example, at t = 0 we have y ' = .1 * 0 - 6 = -6, so our graph of y will start off a the t = 0 point (0,100) with a slope of -6, and the graph begins by decreasing rather rapidly.

But the slope won't remain at -6. By the time we get to t = 10 the slope will be y ' = .1 * 10 - 6 = -5, and the graph is decreasing less rapidly than before.

Then by the time we get to t = 20 the slope will be y ' = . 1 * 20 - 6 = -4, etc..

If you sketch a graph of y vs. t with these calculated slopes at the corresponding t values, what does the graph look like? Will it be increasing or decreasing, and will it be doing so at an increasing, decreasing or constant rate? Is the answer to this question different for different parts of the graph? If so over what intervals of the graph do the different answers apply?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Like in your example, the slopes will be 6 at t = 0, -5 at t = 10, -4 at t = 9, etc. since the numbers are negative, the slope will be negative and will be decreasing. Since the slopes are getting less steep, it will be decreasing at a decreasing rate. When it finally reaches 0(t=60) the slope will be zero and will be leveled off. When the slopes are greater than 0, which means they are positive, the slopes will be positive, eventually increasing at an increasing rate.

confidence rating: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aThe graph will have slopes -6 at t = 0, -5 at t = 10, -4 at t = 9, etc.. At least for awhile, the slope will remain negative so the graph will be decreasing. The negative slopes will however become less and less steep. So the graph be decreasing at a decreasing rate.

It's obvious that the slopes will eventually reach 0, and since y' is the slope of the y vs. t graph it's clear that this will happen when y' = .1 t - 6 becomes 0. Setting .1 t - 6 = 0 we get t = 60. Note, and think about about the fact, that this coincides with the x-intercept of the graph of y' vs. t. At this point the slope will be 0 and the graph will have leveled off at least for an instant.

Past t = 60 the values of y' will be positive, so the slope of the y vs. t graph will be positive and graph of y vs. t will therefore be increasing. The values of y' will also be increasing, so that the slopes of the y vs. t graph will be increasing, and we can say that the graph will be increasing at an increasing rate.

Question: `q003. The graph of y vs. t corresponding to the given rate function y ' = .1 t - 6 has slope -6 at the point (0,100). This slope immediately begins changing, and becomes -5 by the time t = 10. However, let us assume that the slope doesn't change until we get to the t = 10 point. This assumption isn't completely accurate, but we're going to see how it works out.

If the slope remained -6 for t = 0 to t = 10, then starting at (0, 100) what point would we reach when t = 10?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Slope=rise/run we are given the slope(-6) and the run(10) so the equation has to be rearranged so the rise can be figured out. Slope*run=rise so -6*10=rise so -60=rise. Then take 100-60=40, so the two points are our original 10 and now 40 so (10,40)

confidence rating: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aThe slope of the graph is the ratio slope = rise / run. If the slope remains at -6 from t = 0 to t = 10, then the difference between 10 is the run. Thus the run is 10 and the slope is -6, so the rise is

rise = slope * run = -6 * 10 = -60.

The y coordinate of the graph therefore changes by -60, from y = 100 to y = 100 + (-60) = 40. The corresponding point is (10, 40).

Question: `q004. We see that we reach the point (10, 40) by assuming a slope of -6 from t = 0 to t = 10. We have seen that at t = 10 the slope will be y ' = .1 * 10 - 6 = -5. If we maintain this slope for the interval t = 10 to t = 20, what will be the coordinates of the t = 20 point?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

20-10=10(run) and our original -5, so we set up our slope formula, rearranging it again so that slope*run=rise so -5*10=-50 so we are looking at the point (20, -10)

confidence rating: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aThe run from t = 10 to t = 20 is 10. With a slope of -5 this implies a rise of

rise = slope * run = -5 * 10 = -50.

Starting from point (10,40), a rise of -50 and a run of 10 takes the graph to the point (20, -10).

Question: `q005. Continue this process up to the t = 70 point, using a 10-unit t interval for each approximation. Describe the graph that results.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

The slope at t = 20 is y ' = .1 * 20 - 6 = -4. From t = 20 to t = 30 the run is 10, so the rise is rise = slope * run = -4 * 10 = -40. Starting from (20,-10) a rise of -40 and a run of 10 takes us to (30, -50).

The slope at t = 30 is y ' = .1 * 30 - 6 = -3. From t = 30 to t = 40 the run is 10, so the rise is rise = slope * run = -3 * 10 = -30. Starting from (30,-50) a rise of -30 and a run of 10 takes us to (40, -80).

The slope at t = 40 is y ' = .1 * 40 - 6 = -2. From t = 40 to t = 50 the run is 10, so the rise is rise = slope * run = -2 * 10 = -20. Starting from (40,-80) a rise of -20 and a run of 10 takes us to (50, -100).

The slope at t = 50 is y ' = .1 * 50 - 6 = -1. From t = 50 to t = 60 the run is 10, so the rise is rise = slope * run = -1 * 10 = -10. Starting from (50,-100) a rise of -10 and a run of 10 takes us to (60, -110).

The slope at t = 60 is y ' = .1 * 70 - 6 = -0. From t = 60 to t = 70 the run is 10, so the rise is rise = slope * run = -0 * 10 = 0. Starting from (60,-110) a rise of and a run of 10 takes us to (70, -110).

13. Translate each of the following exponential equations into equations involving logarithms, and solve where possible:

2 ^ x = 18

2 ^ (4x) = 12

5 * 2^x = 52

2^(3x - 4) = 9.

b^x = c is translated into logarithmic notation as log{base b}(c) = x. So:

2^x = 18 translates directly to log{bas3 2}(18) = x.

For 5 * 2^x = 52, divide both sides by 5 to get

2^x = 10.4. Now take logs:

2x = log{base 2}(10.4) so

x = 1/2 log{base 2}(10.4). Evaluate on your calculator.

2^(3x-4) = 9 translates to log{base 2}(9) = 3x - 4.

Question: `q 14. Solve 2^(3x-5) + 4 = 0

**

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

2^(3x-5)=-4 then 3x-5=log(base2)(-4)=log -4/log 2. There isnt a log for -4 so theres no solution

confidence rating: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

2^(3x-5) + 4 = 0 rearranges to

2^(3x-5) =-4, which we translate as

3x-5 = log {base 2}(-4) = log(-4) / log (2).

However log(-4) doesn't exist. When you invert the 10^x table you don't end up with any negative x values. So there is no solution to this problem.

Be sure that you thoroughly understand the following rules:

10^x = b translates to x = log(b), where log is understood to be the base-10 log.

e^x = b translates to x = ln(b), where ln is the natural log.

a^x = b translates to x = log{base a} (b), where log{base a} would be written in your text as log with subscript a.

log{base a}(b) = log(b) / log(a), where log is the base-10 log. It also works with the natural log: log{base a}(b) = ln(b) / ln(a).

Question: `q Solve 2^(1/x) - 3 = 0

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

2^(1/x)=3

Log (2^(1/x))=log 3

(1/x) log(2) = log(3). Solve for x:

x = log(2) / log(3).

Solve 2^x * 2^(1/x) = 15

** 2^x * 2^(1/x) = 15. By the laws of exponents we get

2^(x +1/x) = 15 so that

x + 1/x = log {base2}(15)

x^2 + 1 = [log(15) / log(2) ] * x.

confidence rating: 2

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** Rearrange to

2^(1/x) = 3. Then take log of both sides:

log(2^(1/x) ) = log(3). Use properties of logs:

(1/x) log(2) = log(3). Solve for x:

x = log(2) / log(3). **

Solve 2^x * 2^(1/x) = 15

** 2^x * 2^(1/x) = 15. By the laws of exponents we get

2^(x +1/x) = 15 so that

x + 1/x = log {base2}(15) or

x + 1/x =log(15) / log(2). Multiply both sides by x to get

x^2 + 1 = [log(15) / log(2) ] * x.

This is a quadratic equation.

Rearrange to get

x^2 - [ log(15) / log(2) ] * x + 1 = 0 or

x^2 - 3.91 * x + 1 = 0. Solve using the quadratic fomula. **

Solve (2^x)^4 = 5

** log( (2^x)^4 ) = log(5). Using laws of logarithms

4 log(2^x) = log(5)

4 * x log(2) = log(5)

4x = log(5) / log(2)

Your solution:

y = 2 x^2 + 1. A squared function is a parabola(concave up), if its a vertical shift of +1 then you add one unit to the top

confidence rating:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** The function would be y = f(x) = 2 x^2 + 1. The factor 2 stretches the y = x^2 parabola verticall and +1 shifts every point of the stretched parabola 1 unit higher.

The result is a parabola which is concave up with vertex at point (0,1). The parabola has been stretched by a factor of 2 as compared to a x^2 parabola.

If the transformations are reversed the the graph is shifted downward 1 unit then stretched vertically by factor 2. The vertex, for example, shifts to (0, -1) then when stretched shifts to (0, -2). The points (-1, 1) and (1, 1) shift to (-l, 1) and (1, 0) and the stretch leaves them there.

The shift would transform y = x^2 to y = x^2 - 1. The subsequent stretch would then transform this function to y = 2 ( x^2 - 1) = 2 x^2 - 2.

The reversed pair of transformations results in a parabola with its vertex at (0, -2), as opposed to (0, -1) for the original pair of transformations. **

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Since H is temperature, and the f(t) is clock time, the H(30)=10 means that the temperature was 10 degrees when t=30. Vertical is temperature, and the vertical intercept is at t=30, so it gives us temp at t=0. Vertical clock time and horizontal intercept is when H=0, gives us clock time when H=0

Given Solution:

the verticle ** vertical ** intercept is the temperature of the object when it is placed outside

the horizontal intercept is the time when the object became the same temperature as the outside

*&*& H is the temperature, t is the clock time. H(30) is the temperature at clock time t = 30, so H(30) = 10 tells us that a clock time t = 30 the temperature was 10 degrees.

The vertical coordinate is the temperature, and the vertical intercept of the graph occurs when t = 0 so the vertical intercept gives us the temperature at clock time 0.

The vertical coordinate is the clock time, and the horizontal intercept occurs when H = 0, so the horizontal intercept gives us the clock time when temperature is 0. *&*&
