  3. C. 111
  4. D. 000
  5. E. 666
  6. F. −23-\dfrac{2}{3}−32​

∙\bullet∙ Use the fundamental limits:

lim⁡u→0eu−1u=1,lim⁡u→0sin⁡uu=1\lim_{u\to 0}\dfrac{e^u-1}{u}=1,\qquad \lim_{u\to 0}\dfrac{\sin u}{u}=1u→0lim​ueu−1​=1,u→0lim​usinu​=1

∙\bullet∙ Force the arguments to match the denominators:

e2x−1sin⁡3x=e2x−12x⋅3xsin⁡3x⋅2x3x\dfrac{e^{2x}-1}{\sin 3x}=\dfrac{e^{2x}-1}{2x}\cdot\dfrac{3x}{\sin 3x}\cdot\dfrac{2x}{3x}sin3xe2x−1​=2xe2x−1​⋅sin3x3x​⋅3x2x​

∙\bullet∙ Take the limit:

1⋅1⋅23=231\cdot 1\cdot\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{2}{3}1⋅1⋅32​=32​

  5. E. 1−9/25\sqrt{1-9/25}1−9/25​
  6. F. 7/257/257/25

∙\bullet∙ Compute the determinant directly:

cos⁡2x−sin⁡2x=cos⁡2x\cos^2 x-\sin^2 x=\cos 2xcos2x−sin2x=cos2x

∙\bullet∙ From the hypothesis:

cos⁡2x=35\cos 2x=\tfrac{3}{5}cos2x=53​

∙\bullet∙ Apply the Pythagorean identity:

sin⁡22x=1−925=1625\sin^2 2x=1-\tfrac{9}{25}=\tfrac{16}{25}sin22x=1−259​=2516​

∙\bullet∙ Taking the negative root:

sin⁡2x=−45\sin 2x=-\tfrac{4}{5}sin2x=−54​

Problem 4 — Inverse Trigonometric Functions

The value of tan⁡ ⁣(arccos⁡23)\tan\!\left(\arccos\dfrac{2}{3}\right)tan(arccos32​) is:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 53\dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{3}35​​
  2. B. 25\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{5}}5​2​
  3. C. 52\dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{2}25​​✓ correct
  4. D. 5\sqrt{5}5​

sin⁡2θ=1−49=59\sin^2\theta = 1 - \dfrac{4}{9} = \dfrac{5}{9}sin2θ=1−94​=95​, so sin⁡θ=53\sin\theta = \dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{3}sinθ=35​​. Hence tan⁡θ=sin⁡θcos⁡θ=5/32/3=52\tan\theta = \dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} = \dfrac{\sqrt{5}/3}{2/3} = \dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{2}tanθ=cosθsinθ​=2/35​/3​=25​​.

  1. A. 282828
  2. B. 565656
  3. C. 707070✓ correct
  4. D. 128128128

Middle coefficient: (84)=70\binom{8}{4} = 70(48​)=70.

Problem 6 — Algebra

Let f:R→Rf : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}f:R→R be continuous with f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)f(x+y) = f(x) + f(y)f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y) for all real x,yx, yx,y and f(1)=3f(1) = 3f(1)=3. Then f(5)f(5)f(5) equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 151515✓ correct
  2. B. 888
  3. C. 243243243
  4. D. 555

Cauchy's equation with continuity gives f(x)=cxf(x) = cxf(x)=cx for some constant ccc. Since f(1)=3f(1) = 3f(1)=3, c=3c = 3c=3, so f(5)=15f(5) = 15f(5)=15.

Problem 7 — Arithmetic Sequences

A student deposits $50\$50$50 in January and increases the deposit by $10\$10$10 every following month. How much will be deposited in total over 121212 months?

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. $960\$960$960
  2. B. $1,080\$1{,}080$1,080
  3. C. $1,260\$1{,}260$1,260✓ correct
  4. D. $1,320\$1{,}320$1,320

S12=12 (2⋅50+11⋅10)2=6⋅210=1260S_{12} = \dfrac{12\,(2 \cdot 50 + 11 \cdot 10)}{2} = 6 \cdot 210 = 1260S12​=212(2⋅50+11⋅10)​=6⋅210=1260.

Problem 8 — Inverse Trigonometric Functions

For every x∈[−1,1]x \in [-1, 1]x∈[−1,1], the value of arcsin⁡x+arccos⁡x\arcsin x + \arccos xarcsinx+arccosx is:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 000
  2. B. π4\dfrac{\pi}{4}4π​
  3. C. π2\dfrac{\pi}{2}2π​✓ correct
  4. D. π\piπ

For any x∈[−1,1]x \in [-1, 1]x∈[−1,1], arcsin⁡x+arccos⁡x=π2\arcsin x + \arccos x = \dfrac{\pi}{2}arcsinx+arccosx=2π​ (a standard identity, since arccos⁡x=π2−arcsin⁡x\arccos x = \dfrac{\pi}{2} - \arcsin xarccosx=2π​−arcsinx).

Problem 9 — Homomorphisms

The map φ:(R,+)→((0,∞),⋅)\varphi: (\mathbb{R}, +) \to ((0, \infty), \cdot)φ:(R,+)→((0,∞),⋅) defined by φ(x)=ex\varphi(x) = e^xφ(x)=ex is:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. not a homomorphism
  2. B. a non-injective homomorphism
  3. C. injective but not surjective
  4. D. an isomorphism✓ correct

ea+b=eaebe^{a + b} = e^a e^bea+b=eaeb ✓ (homomorphism). exe^xex is strictly increasing (injective) and surjective onto (0,∞)(0, \infty)(0,∞). Hence an isomorphism. (Inverse: ln⁡\lnln.)
