Problem 5 — Limits

Find lim⁡x→1tan⁡(x2−1)sin⁡(x2−3x+2)x→1lim​sin(x2−3x+2)tan(x2−1)​.

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 11
  2. B. 00
  3. C. 22
  4. D. −2−2✓ correct
  5. E. 1221​
  6. F. −1−1

∙∙ Both numerator and denominator →0→0. Use tan⁡u∼utanu∼u and sin⁡u∼usinu∼u as u→0u→0:

lim⁡x→1tan⁡(x2−1)sin⁡(x2−3x+2)=lim⁡x→1x2−1x2−3x+2x→1lim​sin(x2−3x+2)tan(x2−1)​=x→1lim​x2−3x+2x2−1​

∙∙ Factor and cancel the common (x−1)(x−1):

(x−1)(x+1)(x−1)(x−2)=x+1x−2(x−1)(x−2)(x−1)(x+1)​=x−2x+1​

∙∙ Substitute x=1x=1:

2−1=−2−12​=−2

Problem 6 — Limits

Find lim⁡n→∞3n⋅ln⁡ ⁣(1+12n)n→∞lim​3n⋅ln(1+2n1​).

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 00
  2. B. 11
  3. C. ln⁡2ln2
  4. D. +∞+∞✓ correct
  5. E. ln⁡3ln3
  6. F. 33

∙∙ Apply ln⁡(1+u)∼uln(1+u)∼u when u→0u→0:

ln⁡ ⁣(1+12n)∼12nln(1+2n1​)∼2n1​

∙∙ The product reduces to a geometric ratio:

3n⋅12n=(32)n3n⋅2n1​=(23​)n

∙∙ Since 3/2>13/2>1, this diverges:

lim⁡n→∞(32)n=+∞n→∞lim​(23​)n=+∞

Problem 7 — Elementary Functions

The solution of x2+3=x+1x2+3​=x+1 (with x≥−1x≥−1) is:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. −1−1
  2. B. 11✓ correct
  3. C. 33
  4. D. No real solutionNo real solution

x2+3=(x+1)2=x2+2x+1⇒2=2x⇒x=1x2+3=(x+1)2=x2+2x+1⇒2=2x⇒x=1. Check: 4=2=1+14​=2=1+1 ✓.

Problem 8 — Powers, Radicals, Logarithms

The solution of log⁡2(2x2+x+1)−log⁡2(x2−x+2)=1log2​(2x2+x+1)−log2​(x2−x+2)=1 is:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. {1}{1}✓ correct
  2. B. {−1}{−1}
  3. C. {1,−3}{1,−3}
  4. D. No real solutionNo real solution

2x2+x+1=2(x2−x+2)⇒2x2+x+1=2x2−2x+4⇒3x=3⇒x=12x2+x+1=2(x2−x+2)⇒2x2+x+1=2x2−2x+4⇒3x=3⇒x=1.

Verify the domain: at x=1x=1, 2x2+x+1=4>02x2+x+1=4>0 and x2−x+2=2>0x2−x+2=2>0, so both logs are defined. The solution set is {1}{1}.

The value of sin⁡π3+cos⁡π6sin3π​+cos6π​ is:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 11
  2. B. 3223​​
  3. C. 33​✓ correct
  4. D. 3+1223​+1​

sin⁡π3=32sin3π​=23​​ and cos⁡π6=32cos6π​=23​​. Sum: 33​.

Problem 10 — Permutations & Combinations

Using Pascal's identity (nk)+(nk+1)=(n+1k+1)(kn​)+(k+1n​)=(k+1n+1​), compute (73)+(74)(37​)+(47​).

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 3535
  2. B. 5656
  3. C. 7070✓ correct
  4. D. 128128

By Pascal: (73)+(74)=(84)=8!4! 4!=70(37​)+(47​)=(48​)=4!4!8!​=70.
