Problem 1 — The Unit Circle

The value of sin⁡π6sin6π​ is:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 1221​✓ correct
  2. B. 2222​​
  3. C. 3223​​
  4. D. 11

A standard unit-circle value: sin⁡π6=12sin6π​=21​.

Problem 2 — Trigonometric Identities

Compute sin⁡75∘+sin⁡15∘sin75∘+sin15∘.

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 1221​
  2. B. 2222​​
  3. C. 6226​​✓ correct
  4. D. 11

sin⁡75∘+sin⁡15∘=2sin⁡90∘2cos⁡60∘2=2sin⁡45∘cos⁡30∘=2⋅22⋅32=62sin75∘+sin15∘=2sin290∘​cos260∘​=2sin45∘cos30∘=2⋅22​​⋅23​​=26​​.

Problem 3 — Trigonometry

If sin⁡x+cos⁡x=22sinx+cosx=22​​, then sin⁡2xsin2x equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. −12−21​✓ correct
  2. B. 1221​
  3. C. 2222​​
  4. D. 00

(sin⁡x+cos⁡x)2=1+2sin⁡xcos⁡x=1+sin⁡2x=12(sinx+cosx)2=1+2sinxcosx=1+sin2x=21​, so sin⁡2x=−12sin2x=−21​.

Problem 4 — Limits

Find lim⁡x→∞(1+x)1/xx→∞lim​(1+x)1/x.

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. ee
  2. B. +∞+∞
  3. C. 11✓ correct
  4. D. 00
  5. E. e1/2e1/2
  6. F. ln⁡2ln2

∙∙ Set L=lim⁡x→∞(1+x)1/xL=limx→∞​(1+x)1/x and take the logarithm:

ln⁡L=lim⁡x→∞ln⁡(1+x)xlnL=x→∞lim​xln(1+x)​

∙∙ Logarithm grows slower than xx, so the ratio vanishes:

lim⁡x→∞ln⁡(1+x)x=0x→∞lim​xln(1+x)​=0

∙∙ Exponentiate:

L=e0=1L=e0=1

Problem 5 — Applications of Derivatives

The point of inflection of f(x)=x3−3xf(x)=x3−3x is at:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. x=−1x=−1
  2. B. x=0x=0✓ correct
  3. C. x=1x=1
  4. D. f has no inflectionf has no inflection

f′(x)=3x2−3f′(x)=3x2−3, f′′(x)=6xf′′(x)=6x. f′′f′′ changes sign at x=0x=0, so the inflection is at x=0x=0.

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 00
  2. B. 1221​
  3. C. 11✓ correct
  4. D. π22π​

F(x)=sin⁡xF(x)=sinx. F(π/2)−F(0)=1−0=1F(π/2)−F(0)=1−0=1.

  2. B. −xsin⁡x+cos⁡x+C−xsinx+cosx+C
  3. C. xsin⁡x+cos⁡x+Cxsinx+cosx+C✓ correct
  4. D. sin⁡x−xcos⁡x+Csinx−xcosx+C

u=xu=x, du=dxdu=dx, v=sin⁡xv=sinx. ∫xcos⁡x dx=xsin⁡x−∫sin⁡x dx=xsin⁡x+cos⁡x+C∫xcosxdx=xsinx−∫sinxdx=xsinx+cosx+C.

  1. A. 12%12%
  2. B. 12.68%12.68%✓ correct
  3. C. 13.5%13.5%
  4. D. 14.4%14.4%

 ⁣(1+0.1212)12−1=1.0112−1≈1.1268−1=0.1268≈12.68%(1+120.12​)12−1=1.0112−1≈1.1268−1=0.1268≈12.68%.

  2. B. [−3,3][−3,3]
  3. C. (−∞,−3)∪(3,+∞)(−∞,−3)∪(3,+∞)✓ correct
  4. D. (−∞,−3]∪[3,+∞)(−∞,−3]∪[3,+∞)

x2>9⇔∣x∣>3⇔x<−3x2>9⇔∣x∣>3⇔x<−3 or x>3x>3. Solution: (−∞,−3)∪(3,+∞)(−∞,−3)∪(3,+∞).
