Problem 1 — Logarithms

log⁡381log⁡39log3​9log3​81​ equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 22✓ correct
  2. B. 1221​
  3. C. 99
  4. D. 33

log⁡381=4log3​81=4, log⁡39=2log3​9=2, so the ratio is 42=224​=2.

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 6226​​
  2. B. 2222​​✓ correct
  3. C. 3223​​
  4. D. 1221​
  5. E. 11
  6. F. 2442​​

∙∙ Apply the difference-to-product identity:

sin⁡A−sin⁡B=2cos⁡A+B2sin⁡A−B2sinA−sinB=2cos2A+B​sin2A−B​

∙∙ With A=75°A=75°, B=15°B=15° the half-sum is 45°45° and half-difference is 30°30°:

sin⁡75°−sin⁡15°=2cos⁡45°sin⁡30°sin75°−sin15°=2cos45°sin30°

∙∙ Evaluate:

2⋅22⋅12=222⋅22​​⋅21​=22​​

Problem 5 — Recursive Integrals

The sequence In=∫0π/2sin⁡nx dxIn​=∫0π/2​sinnxdx has terms that are:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. always negativealways negative
  2. B. alternating in signalternating in sign
  3. C. always positivealways positive✓ correct
  4. D. zero for even nzero for even n

sin⁡x≥0sinx≥0 on [0,π/2][0,π/2], so sin⁡nx≥0sinnx≥0 and the integral is ≥0≥0 (in fact >0>0 for finite nn).
