Problem 1 — Logarithms

Rezolvați 5x+1=1255x+1=125.

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. x=1x=1
  2. B. x=2x=2✓ correct
  3. C. x=3x=3
  4. D. x=4x=4

Avem 125=53125=53, deci 5x+1=53⇒x+1=3⇒x=25x+1=53⇒x+1=3⇒x=2.

Problem 2 — Arithmetic Sequences

In an arithmetic progression, a3=11a3​=11 and a7=27a7​=27. Determine a5a5​.

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 1515
  2. B. 1717
  3. C. 1919✓ correct
  4. D. 2222

a5=a3+a72=11+272=19a5​=2a3​+a7​​=211+27​=19.

Problem 3 — Matrices

Let f(x)=Cx3+log⁡2(x+1)f(x)=Cx3​+log2​(x+1) and A=(f(3)tan⁡π42lim⁡x→∞x23x!f(7)38log⁡3f(3)i4lg⁡10−48P4ln⁡1)A=​f(3)38f(7)​lg10−48​tan4π​log3​​f(3)P4​​2limx→∞​x!x23​i4ln1​​. Find det⁡(A)det(A).

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 00✓ correct
  2. B. 2424
  3. C. −72−72
  4. D. 4848
  5. E. −24−24
  6. F. 7272

∙∙ Evaluate the function values:

f(3)=C33+log⁡24=1+2=3f(3)=C33​+log2​4=1+2=3

f(7)=C73+log⁡28=35+3=38f(7)=C73​+log2​8=35+3=38

∙∙ So f(7)/38=1f(7)/38=1 and log⁡3f(3)=log⁡33=2log3​​f(3)=log3​​3=2.

∙∙ Reduce the trig / limit / log / factorial entries:

tan⁡π4=1tan4π​=1

2lim⁡x23/x!=20=12limx23/x!=20=1

i4=1,    lg⁡10−48=−48,    P4=4!=24,    ln⁡1=0i4=1,lg10−48=−48,P4​=4!=24,ln1=0

∙∙ Assemble the matrix:

A=(311121−48240)A=​31−48​1224​110​​

∙∙ Expand along row 1:

det⁡A=3(2⋅0−1⋅24)−1(1⋅0−1⋅(−48))+1(1⋅24−2⋅(−48))detA=3(2⋅0−1⋅24)−1(1⋅0−1⋅(−48))+1(1⋅24−2⋅(−48))

det⁡A=3(−24)−1(48)+1(120)detA=3(−24)−1(48)+1(120)

det⁡A=−72−48+120=0detA=−72−48+120=0
