Problem 1 — Logic & Induction

Let A={1,2,3,5}A = \{1, 2, 3, 5\}A={1,2,3,5} and B={2,3,5,7}B = \{2, 3, 5, 7\}B={2,3,5,7}. Then A∩BA \cap BA∩B equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. {1,2,3,5,7}\{1, 2, 3, 5, 7\}{1,2,3,5,7}
  2. B. {2,3,5}\{2, 3, 5\}{2,3,5}✓ correct
  3. C. {1,7}\{1, 7\}{1,7}
  4. D. ∅\emptyset∅

A∩BA \cap BA∩B contains the elements common to both sets: {2,3,5}\{2, 3, 5\}{2,3,5}.

Problem 3 — Logs

Given x+y=8x+y=8x+y=8 and log⁡2(x+y)−log⁡2(x−y)=2\log_2(x+y)-\log_2(x-y)=2log2​(x+y)−log2​(x−y)=2, find 2x−2y2^x-2^y2x−2y.

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 888
  2. B. 242424✓ correct
  3. C. 161616
  4. D. 323232
  5. E. 404040
  6. F. −24-24−24

∙\bullet∙ Apply the quotient rule:

log⁡2x+yx−y=2  ⇒  x+yx−y=4\log_2\frac{x+y}{x-y} = 2 \;\Rightarrow\; \frac{x+y}{x-y} = 4log2​x−yx+y​=2⇒x−yx+y​=4

∙\bullet∙ Substitute x+y=8x + y = 8x+y=8:

8x−y=4  ⇒  x−y=2\frac{8}{x-y} = 4 \;\Rightarrow\; x - y = 2x−y8​=4⇒x−y=2

∙\bullet∙ Solve the system:

x=5,y=3x = 5,\quad y = 3x=5,y=3

∙\bullet∙ Evaluate:

2x−2y=32−8=242^x - 2^y = 32 - 8 = 242x−2y=32−8=24

Problem 6 — Logarithms

Rezolvați log⁡3x+log⁡3(x−6)=3\log_3 x + \log_3(x - 6) = 3log3​x+log3​(x−6)=3. Care este valoarea lui xxx?

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. x=3x = 3x=3
  2. B. x=6x = 6x=6
  3. C. x=9x = 9x=9✓ correct
  4. D. x=12x = 12x=12

Combinăm: log⁡3(x(x−6))=3⇒x2−6x=27⇒x2−6x−27=0\log_3(x(x-6)) = 3 \Rightarrow x^2 - 6x = 27 \Rightarrow x^2 - 6x - 27 = 0log3​(x(x−6))=3⇒x2−6x=27⇒x2−6x−27=0. Rădăcinile sunt x=9x = 9x=9 și x=−3x = -3x=−3. Domeniul cere x>6x > 6x>6, deci x=9x = 9x=9 (cealaltă este străină).

  4. D. (nk)2k3n−kxn−k\binom{n}{k} 2^k 3^{n-k} x^{n-k}(kn​)2k3n−kxn−k

With a=2xa = 2xa=2x and b=3b = 3b=3: Tk+1=(nk)(2x)n−k3kT_{k+1} = \binom{n}{k}(2x)^{n-k} 3^kTk+1​=(kn​)(2x)n−k3k.
