Problem 1 — Lines in the Plane

The slope of the line y=3x−7y=3x−7 is:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. −7−7
  2. B. −3−3
  3. C. 33✓ correct
  4. D. 77

In slope-intercept form y=mx+by=mx+b, the slope is m=3m=3.

Problem 2 — Logs

Given lg⁡2=alg2=a (where lg⁡=log⁡10lg=log10​), express lg⁡50lg50 in terms of aa.

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 2−a2−a✓ correct
  2. B. 1+a1+a
  3. C. a+2a+2
  4. D. 50a50a
  5. E. 1−a1−a
  6. F. 25a25a

∙∙ Rewrite 5050 using 100100:

50=100250=2100​

∙∙ Apply lg⁡(M/N)=lg⁡M−lg⁡Nlg(M/N)=lgM−lgN:

lg⁡50=lg⁡100−lg⁡2lg50=lg100−lg2

∙∙ Since lg⁡100=2lg100=2 and lg⁡2=alg2=a:

lg⁡50=2−alg50=2−a

Problem 3 — Limits of Sequences

The limit lim⁡n→∞1nn→∞lim​n1​ equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 00✓ correct
  2. B. 11
  3. C. ∞∞
  4. D. does not existdoes not exist

As n→∞n→∞, 1n→0n1​→0.

Problem 4 — Matrices

Let f(x)=2ln⁡x+3x2f(x)=2lnx+3x2 and A=(f(1)log⁡2(f′(2)+3)sin⁡7π∣3−4i∣)A=(f(1)sin7π​log2​(f′(2)+3)∣3−4i∣​). Find det⁡(A2)det(A2).

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 1515
  2. B. 3030
  3. C. 225225✓ correct
  4. D. 625625
  5. E. 7575
  6. F. −225−225

∙∙ Compute each entry:

f(1)=2ln⁡1+3=3f(1)=2ln1+3=3

f′(x)=2x+6x  ⇒  f′(2)=13f′(x)=x2​+6x⇒f′(2)=13

log⁡2(13+3)=log⁡216=4log2​(13+3)=log2​16=4

∙∙ Also sin⁡7π=0sin7π=0 and ∣3−4i∣=5∣3−4i∣=5, giving:

A=(3405)A=(30​45​)

∙∙ Use det⁡(A2)=(det⁡A)2det(A2)=(detA)2:

det⁡A=15  ⇒  det⁡(A2)=225detA=15⇒det(A2)=225

Problem 5 — Functions — General Properties

Let f:R→Rf:R→R, f(x)=3x−6f(x)=3x−6. The inverse f−1f−1 is:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. f−1(y)=y3+6f−1(y)=3y​+6
  2. B. f−1(y)=y+63f−1(y)=3y+6​✓ correct
  3. C. f−1(y)=3y+6f−1(y)=3y+6
  4. D. f−1(y)=y−63f−1(y)=3y−6​

y=3x−6⇒x=y+63y=3x−6⇒x=3y+6​, so f−1(y)=y+63f−1(y)=3y+6​.

Problem 6 — Continuity

The function f(x)=∣x∣xf(x)=x∣x∣​ has at x=0x=0:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. a removable discontinuitya removable discontinuity
  2. B. a continuous extensiona continuous extension
  3. C. a jump discontinuitya jump discontinuity✓ correct
  4. D. an essential discontinuityan essential discontinuity

lim⁡x→0−f=−1limx→0−​f=−1 and lim⁡x→0+f=1limx→0+​f=1 — finite but unequal limits, hence a jump discontinuity.

Problem 7 — The Unit Circle

The point on the unit circle associated with x=7π4x=47π​ lies in:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. the first quadrantthe first quadrant
  2. B. the second quadrantthe second quadrant
  3. C. the third quadrantthe third quadrant
  4. D. the fourth quadrantthe fourth quadrant✓ correct

7π4∈ ⁣(3π2,2π)47π​∈(23π​,2π), which is the fourth quadrant.

Problem 8 — Modular Arithmetic (ℤₙ)

(Zn,+,⋅)(Zn​,+,⋅) is a field iff:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. n is evenn is even
  2. B. n≥5n≥5
  3. C. n is primen is prime✓ correct
  4. D. n=n!n=n!

ZnZn​ is a field iff every non-zero element is invertible, iff every element from 11 to n−1n−1 is coprime to nn, iff nn is prime.

Problem 9 — Calculus

∫01xln⁡x dx∫01​xlnxdx equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. −14−41​✓ correct
  2. B. 1441​
  3. C. 00
  4. D. −12−21​

By parts: ∫xln⁡x dx=x22ln⁡x−∫x2 dx=x22ln⁡x−x24∫xlnxdx=2x2​lnx−∫2x​dx=2x2​lnx−4x2​. Evaluating on [0,1][0,1] (with x2ln⁡x→0x2lnx→0 as x→0+x→0+) gives 0−14−0=−140−41​−0=−41​.
