Given Solution: `a The difference quotient would be [ f(x+`dx) - f(x) ] / `dx = [ (x+`dx)^2 - (x+`dx) + 1 - (x^2 - x + 1) ] / `dx. Expanding the squared term, etc., this is [ x^2 + 2 x `dx + `dx^2 - x - `dx + 1 - x^2 + x - 1 ] / `dx, which simplifies further to }[ 2 x `dx - `dx + `dx^2 ] / `dx, then dividing by the `dx we get 2 x - 1 + `dx. For x = 2 this simplifies to 2 * 2 - 1 + `dx = 3 + `dx. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `q1.4.40 (was 1.4.34 f+g, f*g, f/g, f(g), g(f) for f=x/(x+1) and g=x^3 the requested functions and the domain and range of each.

Given Solution: `a The graph of y = | x | exists in quadrants 1 and 2 and has a 'v' shape with the point of the v at the origin. It follows that: The graph of | x |+3, which is shifted 3 units vertically from that of | x |, has a 'v' shape with the point of the v at (0,3). The graph of -.5 | x |, which is stretched by factor -.5 relative to that of | x |, has an inverted 'v' shape with the point of the v at (0,0), with the 'v' extending downward and having half the (negative) slope of the graph of | x |. The graph of | x-2 |, which is shifted 2 units horizontally from that of |x |, has a 'v' shape with the point of the v at (2, 0). The graph of | x+1 |-1, which is shifted -1 unit vertically and -1 unit horizontally from that of | x |, has a 'v' shape with the point of the v at (-1, -1). The graph of 2 |x |, which is stretched by factor 2 relative to that of | x |, has a 'v' shape with the point of the v at (0,0), with the 'v' extending upward and having double slope of the graph of | x |. |x-2| shifts by +2 units because x has to be 2 greater to give you the same results for |x-2| as you got for |x|. This also makes sense because if you make a table of y vs. x you find that the y values for |x| must be shifted +2 units in the positive direction to get the y values for |x-2|; this occurs for the same reason given above For y = |x+1| - 1 the leftward 1-unit shift is because you need to use a lesser value of x to get the same thing for |x+1| that you got for |x|. The vertical -1 is because subtracting 1 shifts y downward by 1 unit ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `q1.4.71 (was 1.4.64 find x(p) from p(x) = 14.75/(1+.01x) YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: (1 + 0.01x)p = 14.75 p + 0.01 xp = 14.75 0.01xp = 14.75 - p X = (14.75 - p) / 0.01p confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `a p = 14.75 / (1 + .01 x). Multiply both sides by 1 + .01 x to get (1 + .01 x) * p = 14.75. Divide both sides by p to get 1 + .01 x = 14.75 / p. Subtract 1 from both sides to get 1 x = 14.75 / p - 1. Multiply both sides by 100 to get = 1475 / p - 100. Put the right-hand side over common denominator p: = (1475 - 100 p) / p. If p = 10 then x = (1475 - 100 p) / p = (1475 - 100 * 10) / 10 = 475 / 10 = 47.5 ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): Is it necessary to multiply by 100??? Because my answer is basically correct minus that step, at least from what I can see. Btw, I CAN NOT find this problem in the book!!! But the one in book is similar I guess. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:
