One bite-sized math problem set for the day. Solve the 10 multiple-choice problems and reveal the worked solutions.
The domain of is:
Require , i.e. .
Domain: .
Work out .
, then .
The equation of a circle with centre and radius is:
Centre and (so ):
.
The slant (oblique) asymptote of as is:
. As , , so the slant asymptote is .
Solve for real .
Domain: both arguments positive, so .
Combine logs:
Exponentiate and expand:
Factor:
fails the domain . Only remains.
A finite group of prime order is necessarily:
Take any . The subgroup has order dividing . It's not (since ), so it has order , i.e. . So is cyclic, hence abelian.
equals:
. When , ; when , . .
equals:
.
Determine for which the binomial expansion has terms.
.
How many real solutions does the equation have?
RHS must be non-negative, so .
Case 1 (, so ):
Factor and solve:
Case 2 (, so ):
Factor and solve:
(only lies strictly inside ; already appears in Case 1).
Distinct valid solutions:
Three real solutions.
