- 1. 1FUNCTIONS AND MODELS1.1 Four Ways to Represent a Function
In exercises requiring estimations or approximations, your answers
may vary slightly from the answers given here. 1. (a) The point (1,
2) is on the graph of f , so f (1) = 2.(b) When x = 2, y is about
2.8, so f (2) 2.8. (c) f (x) = 2 is equivalent to y = 2. When y =
2, we have x = 3 and x = 1. (d) Reasonable estimates for x when y =
0 are x = 2.5 and x = 0.3. (e) The domain of f consists of all
x-values on the graph of f . For this function, the domain is 3 x
3, or [3, 3]. The range of f consists of all y-values on the graph
of f . For this function, the range is 2 y 3, or [2, 3].(f ) As x
increases from 1 to 3, y increases from 2 to 3. Thus, f is
increasing on the interval [1, 3]. 3. From Figure 1 in the text,
the lowest point occurs at about (t, a) = (12, 85). The highest
point occurs at about (17, 115).Thus, the range of the vertical
ground acceleration is 85 a 115. Written in interval notation, we
get [85, 115].5. No, the curve is not the graph of a function
because a vertical line intersects the curve more than once. Hence,
the curve failsthe Vertical Line Test. 7. Yes, the curve is the
graph of a function because it passes the Vertical Line Test. The
domain is [3, 2] and the rangeis [3, 2) [1, 3]. 9. The persons
weight increased to about 160 pounds at age 20 and stayed fairly
steady for 10 years. The persons weightdropped to about 120 pounds
for the next 5 years, then increased rapidly to about 170 pounds.
The next 30 years saw a gradual increase to 190 pounds. Possible
reasons for the drop in weight at 30 years of age: diet, exercise,
health problems. 11. The water will cool down almost to freezing as
the ice13. Of course, this graph depends strongly on themelts.

estimate the number of cell-phone subscribers worldwide to be about
92 million in 1995 and 485 million in 1999.21. f (x) = 3x2 x + 2.f
(2) = 3(2)2 2 + 2 = 12 2 + 2 = 12. f (2) = 3(2)2 (2) + 2 = 12 + 2 +
2 = 16. f (a) = 3a2 a + 2. f (a) = 3(a)2 (a) + 2 = 3a2 + a + 2. f
(a + 1) = 3(a + 1)2 (a + 1) + 2 = 3(a2 + 2a + 1) a 1 + 2 = 3a2 + 6a
+ 3 a + 1 = 3a2 + 5a + 4. 2f (a) = 2 f (a) = 2(3a2 a + 2) = 6a2 2a
+ 4. f (2a) = 3(2a)2 (2a) + 2 = 3(4a2 ) 2a + 2 = 12a2 2a + 2. f (a2
) = 3(a2 )2 (a2 ) + 2 = 3(a4 ) a2 + 2 = 3a4 a2 + 2. [f (a)]2 = 3a2
a + 22= 3a2 a + 2 3a2 a + 2= 9a4 3a3 + 6a2 3a3 + a2 2a + 6a2 2a + 4

2ah + h2 ) a h + 2 = 3a2 + 6ah + 3h2 a h + 2. 23. f (x) = 4 + 3x x2
, so f (3 + h) = 4 + 3(3 + h) (3 + h)2 = 4 + 9 + 3h (9 + 6h + h2 )
= 4 3h h2 ,and(4 3h h2 ) 4 h(3 h) f (3 + h) f (3) = = = 3 h. h h h1

3x 1isx R | x 6=1 3= ,1 31 3,. x = 1 , so the domain 3 29. f (t) =
t + 3 t is dened when t 0. These values of t give real number
results for t, whereas any value of t gives a real number result
for 3 t. The domain is [0, ). 31. h(x) = 1 4 x2 5x is dened when x2
5x > 0x(x 5) > 0. Note that x2 5x 6= 0 since that would
result indivision by zero. The expression x(x 5) is positive if x
< 0 or x > 5. (See Appendix A for methods for solving
inequalities.) Thus, the domain is (, 0) (5, ). 3. SECTION 1.1 FOUR
WAYS TO REPRESENT A FUNCTION33. f (x) = 5 is dened for all real
numbers, so the domain is R, or (, ).The graph of f is a horizontal
line with y-intercept 5.35. f (t) = t2 6t is dened for all real
numbers, so the domain is R, or(, ). The graph of f is a parabola
opening upward since the coefcient of t2 is positive. To nd the
t-intercepts, let y = 0 and solve for t.0 = t2 6t = t(t 6)t = 0 and
t = 6. The t-coordinate of thevertex is halfway between the
t-intercepts, that is, at t = 3. Sincef (3) = 32 6 3 = 9, the
vertex is (3, 9). x 5 is dened when x 5 0 or x 5, so the domain is
[5, ). Since y = x 5 y 2 = x 5 x = y 2 + 5, we see that g is the37.
g(x) =top half of a parabola.39. G(x) =3x + |x| . Since |x| = x 3x
+ x x G(x) = 3x x xx xif x 0 if x < 0 4x x = 2x if x < 0 x if
x > 0, we haveif x > 0 = if x < 04if x > 02if x <
0Note that G is not dened for x = 0. The domain is (, 0) (0, ). 41.
f (x) =x+2if x < 01xif x 043. f (x) =The domain is R.x + 2 if x
1 x2if x > 1Note that for x = 1, both x + 2 and x2 are equal to
1. The domain is R.45. Recall that the slope m of a line between
the two points (x1 , y1 ) and (x2 , y2 ) is m =connecting those two
points is y y1 = m(x x1 ). The slope of this line segment is y (3)
= 5 (x 1). The function is f (x) = 5 x 2 211 , 21 x 5.y2 y1 and an
equation of the line x2 x1 7 (3) 5 = , so an equation is 51 211 4.
12CHAPTER 1 FUNCTIONS AND MODELS47. We need to solve the given
equation for y. x + (y 1)2 = 0 (y 1)2 = x y 1 = x x. The expression
with the positive radical represents the top half of the parabola,
and the one with the negative radical represents the bottom half.
Hence, we want f (x) = 1 x. Note that the domain is x 0. y =149.
For 0 x 3, the graph is the line with slope 1 and y-intercept 3,
that is, y = x + 3. For 3 < x 5, the graph is the linewith slope
2 passing through (3, 0); that is, y 0 = 2(x 3), or y = 2x 6. So
the function is f (x) =x + 3 if 0 x 3 2x 6 if 3 < x 551. Let the
length and width of the rectangle be L and W . Then the perimeter
is 2L + 2W = 20 and the area is A = LW .Solving the rst equation
for W in terms of L gives W =20 2L = 10 L. Thus, A(L) = L(10 L) =
10L L2 . Since 2lengths are positive, the domain of A is 0 < L
< 10. If we further restrict L to be larger than W , then 5 <
L < 10 would be the domain. 53. Let the length of a side of the
equilateral triangle be x. Then by the Pythagorean Theorem, the
height y of the triangle satisesy2 +2 1 2x= x2 , so that y 2 = x2 1
x2 = 3 x2 and y = 4 4A = 1 (base)(height), we obtain A(x) = 1 (x) 2
23 x 2=3 2 x.3 2 x , 4Using the formula for the area A of a
triangle,with domain x > 0.55. Let each side of the base of the
box have length x, and let the height of the box be h. Since the
volume is 2, we know that2 = hx2 , so that h = 2/x2 , and the
surface area is S = x2 + 4xh. Thus, S(x) = x2 + 4x(2/x2 ) = x2 +
(8/x), with domain x > 0. 57. The height of the box is x and the
length and width are L = 20 2x, W = 12 2x. Then V = LW x and soV
(x) = (20 2x)(12 2x)(x) = 4(10 x)(6 x)(x) = 4x(60 16x + x2 ) = 4x3
64x2 + 240x. The sides L, W , and x must be positive. Thus, L >
0 20 2x > 0 x < 10; W > 0 12 2x > 0 x < 6; and x
> 0. Combining these restrictions gives us the domain 0 < x
< 6. 59. (a)(b) On $14,000, tax is assessed on $4000, and
10%($4000) = $400. On $26,000, tax is assessed on $16,000, and
10%($10,000) + 15%($6000) = $1000 + $900 = $1900.(c) As in part
(b), there is $1000 tax assessed on $20,000 of income, so the graph
of T is a line segment from (10,000, 0) to (20,000, 1000). The tax
on $30,000 is $2500, so the graph of T for x > 20,000 is the ray
with initial point (20,000, 1000) that passes through (30,000,
2500). 5. SECTION 1.2 MATHEMATICAL MODELS: A CATALOG OF ESSENTIAL

about the origin. g is an even function because its graph is
symmetric withrespect to the y-axis. 63. (a) Because an even
function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, and the point (5,
3) is on the graph of this even function,the point (5, 3) must also
be on its graph. (b) Because an odd function is symmetric with
respect to the origin, and the point (5, 3) is on the graph of this
odd function, the point (5, 3) must also be on its graph. 65. f (x)

f (x), the function f is neither even nor odd.So f is an odd
function.69. f (x) = 1 + 3x2 x4 .f (x) = 1 + 3(x)2 (x)4 = 1 + 3x2
x4 = f (x). So f is an even function.1.2 Mathematical Models: A
Catalog of Essential Functions 1. (a) f (x) =(b) g(x) = 5 x is a
root function with n = 5. 1 x2 is an algebraic function because it
is a root of a polynomial.(c) h(x) = x9 + x4 is a polynomial of
degree 9. (d) r(x) =x2 + 1 is a rational function because it is a
ratio of polynomials. x3 + x(e) s(x) = tan 2x is a trigonometric
function. (f ) t(x) = log10 x is a logarithmic function. 3. We
notice from the gure that g and h are even functions (symmetric
with respect to the y-axis) and that f is an odd function(symmetric
with respect to the origin). So (b) y = x5 must be f . Since g is
atter than h near the origin, we must have (c) y = x8 matched with
g and (a) y = x2 matched with h. 6. 14CHAPTER 1 FUNCTIONS AND
MODELS5. (a) An equation for the family of linear functions with
slope 2is y = f (x) = 2x + b, where b is the y-intercept.(b) f (2)
= 1 means that the point (2, 1) is on the graph of f . We can use
the point-slope form of a line to obtain an equation for the family
of linear functions through the point (2, 1). y 1 = m(x 2), which
is equivalent to y = mx + (1 2m) in slope-intercept form.(c) To
belong to both families, an equation must have slope m = 2, so the
equation in part (b), y = mx + (1 2m), becomes y = 2x 3. It is the
only function that belongs to both families. 7. All members of the
family of linear functions f(x) = c x have graphsthat are lines
with slope 1. The y-intercept is c.9. Since f (1) = f (0) = f(2) =
0, f has zeros of 1, 0, and 2, so an equation for f is f (x) = a[x
(1)](x 0)(x 2),or f (x) = ax(x + 1)(x 2). Because f (1) = 6, well
substitute 1 for x and 6 for f (x). 6 = a(1)(2)(1) 2a = 6 a = 3, so
an equation for f is f (x) = 3x(x + 1)(x 2). 11. (a) D = 200, so c
= 0.0417D(a + 1) = 0.0417(200)(a + 1) = 8.34a + 8.34. The slope is
8.34, which represents thechange in mg of the dosage for a child
for each change of 1 year in age. (b) For a newborn, a = 0, so c =
8.34 mg. 13. (a)(b) The slope of9 5means that F increases9 5degrees
for each increaseof 1 C. (Equivalently, F increases by 9 when C
increases by 5 and F decreases by 9 when C decreases by 5.) The F
-intercept of 32 is the Fahrenheit temperature corresponding to a
Celsius temperature of 0. 7. SECTION 1.2 MATHEMATICAL MODELS: A

the temperature in Fahrenheit degrees increases one-sixth as
rapidly as the number of cricketchirps per minute. Said
differently, each increase of 6 cricket chirps per minute
corresponds to an increase of 1 F. (c) When N = 150, the
temperature is given approximately by T = 1 (150) + 6 17. (a) We

Using P for pressure and d for depth with the point 10 feet change
in depth 10(d, P ) = (0, 15), we have the slope-intercept form of
the line, P = 0.434d + 15. (b) When P = 100, then 100 = 0.434d + 15
0.434d = 85 d =85 0.434 195.85 feet. Thus, the pressure is100
lb/in2 at a depth of approximately 196 feet. 19. (a) The data

appropriate. (b) The data appear to be decreasing in a linear

(a)(b)A linear model does seem appropriate.Using a computing
device, we obtain the least squares regression line y =
0.089119747x 158.2403249,where x is the year and y is the height in
feet.(c) When x = 2000, the model gives y 20.00 ft. Note that the
actual winning height for the 2000 Olympics is less than the
winning height for 1996so much for that prediction. (d) When x =
2100, y 28.91 ft. This would be an increase of 9.49 ft from 1996 to
2100. Even though there was an increase of 8.59 ft from 1900 to
1996, it is unlikely that a similar increase will occur over the
next 100 years. 25.Using a computing device, we obtain the cubic

g(x) = x2 + 1 and f (x) = x10 . Then (f g)(x) = f (g(x)) = f(x2 +
1) = (x2 + 1)10 = F (x). 43. Let g(x) = 3 x and f (x) =45. Let g(t)
= cos t and f (t) = 3 x x = F (x). . Then (f g)(x) = f (g(x)) = f (
3 x ) = 1+x 1+ 3x t. Then (f g)(t) = f (g(t)) = f (cos t) = cos t =
u(t).47. Let h(x) = x2 , g(x) = 3x , and f(x) = 1 x. Then 2(f g

g(2) = 5, because the point (2, 5) is on the graph of g. Thus,
f(g(2)) = f (5) = 4, because the point (5, 4) is on thegraph of f .
(b) g(f(0)) = g(0) = 3 (c) (f g)(0) = f (g(0)) = f (3) = 0(d) (g f

Using the relationship distance = rate time with the radius r as
the distance, we have r(t) = 60t.(b) A = r2 (A r)(t) = A(r(t)) =
(60t)2 = 3600t2 . This formula gives us the extent of the rippled
area(in cm ) at any time t. 255. (a) From the gure, we have a right
triangle with legs 6 and d, and hypotenuse s.By the Pythagorean
Theorem, d2 + 62 = s2 s = f (d) = d 2 + 36.(b) Using d = rt, we get
d = (30 km/hr)(t hr) = 30t (in km). Thus, d = g(t) = 30t. (c) (f
g)(t) = f (g(t)) = f (30t) =(30t)2 + 36 = 900t2 + 36. This function
represents the distance between thelighthouse and the ship as a

t < 0120 if t 0so V (t) = 120H(t).Starting with the formula in
part (b), we replace 120 with 240 to reect the(c)different voltage.
Also, because we are starting 5 units to the right of t = 0, we
replace t with t 5. Thus, the formula is V (t) = 240H(t 5). 59. If
f(x) = m1 x + b1 and g(x) = m2 x + b2 , then(f g)(x) = f (g(x)) = f
(m2 x + b2 ) = m1 (m2 x + b2 ) + b1 = m1 m2 x + m1 b2 + b1 . So f g
is a linear function with slope m1 m2 . 61. (a) By examining the
variable terms in g and h, we deduce that we must square g to get
the terms 4x2 and 4x in h. If we letf (x) = x2 + c, then (f g)(x) =
f (g(x)) = f (2x + 1) = (2x + 1)2 + c = 4x2 + 4x + (1 + c). Since
h(x) = 4x2 + 4x + 7, we must have 1 + c = 7. So c = 6 and f (x) =
x2 + 6. (b) We need a function g so that f (g(x)) = 3(g(x)) + 5 =
h(x). But h(x) = 3x2 + 3x + 2 = 3(x2 + x) + 2 = 3(x2 + x 1) + 5, so
we see that g(x) = x2 + x 1. 63. (a) If f and g are even functions,
then f (x) = f (x) and g(x) = g(x).(i) (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) =
f(x) + g(x) = (f + g)(x), so f + g is an even function. (ii) (f
g)(x) = f (x) g(x) = f (x) g(x) = (f g)(x), so f g is an even
function. (b) If f and g are odd functions, then f (x) = f (x) and
g(x) = g(x).(i) (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = f (x) + [g(x)] = [f (x)
+ g(x)] = (f + g)(x), so f + g is an odd function.(ii) (f g)(x) = f
(x) g(x) = f (x) [g(x)] = f (x) g(x) = (f g)(x), so f g is an even
function. 65. We need to examine h(x).h(x) = (f g)(x) = f(g(x)) = f
(g(x)) [because g is even] Because h(x) = h(x), h is an even
function.= h(x) 15. SECTION 1.4 GRAPHING CALCULATORS AND

10](There is no graph shown.)The most appropriate graph is produced
in viewing rectangle (c). 3. Since the graph of f (x) = 5 + 20x x2
is aparabola opening downward, an appropriate viewing rectangle
should include the maximum point.5. f (x) = 4 81 x4 is dened when
81 x4 0 x4 81 |x| 3, so the domain of f is [3, 3]. Also 0 4 81 x4 4
81 = 3, so the range is [0, 3].7. The graph of f (x) = x3 225x is
symmetric with respect to the origin.Since f (x) = x3 225x = x(x2
225) = x(x + 15)(x 15), there are x-intercepts at 0, 15, and 15. f
(20) = 3500.9. The period of g(x) = sin(1000x) is2 1000 0.0063 and
its range is[1, 1]. Since f (x) = sin2 (1000x) is the square of g,
its range is [0, 1] and a viewing rectangle of [0.01, 0.01] by [0,
1.1] seems appropriate.11. The domain of y = x is x 0, so the
domain of f(x) = sin x is [0, )and the range is [1, 1]. With a
little trial-and-error experimentation, we nd that an Xmax of 100
illustrates the general shape of f , so an appropriate viewing
rectangle is [0, 100] by [1.5, 1.5].23 16. 24CHAPTER 1 FUNCTIONS
AND MODELS13. The rst term, 10 sin x, has period 2 and range [10,
10]. It will be the dominant term in any large graph ofy = 10 sin x
+ sin 100x, as shown in the rst gure. The second term, sin 100x,
has period2 100= 50and range [1, 1].It causes the bumps in the rst
gure and will be the dominant term in any small graph, as shown in
the view near the origin in the second gure.15. We must solve the
given equation for y to obtain equations for the upper andlower
halves of the ellipse. 4x2 + 2y 2 = 1 2y 2 = 1 4x2 y= y2 =1 4x2 21
4x2 217. From the graph of y = 3x2 6x + 1and y = 0.23x 2.25 in the
viewing rectangle [1, 3] by [2.5, 1.5], it isdifcult to see if the
graphs intersect. If we zoom in on the fourth quadrant, we see the
graphs do not intersect. 19. From the graph of f (x) = x3 9x2 4, we
see that there is one solutionof the equation f (x) = 0 and it is
slightly larger than 9. By zooming in or using a root or zero
feature, we obtain x 9.05.21. We see that the graphs of f (x) = x2
and g(x) = sin x intersect twice. Onesolution is x = 0. The other
solution of f = g is the x-coordinate of the point of intersection
in the rst quadrant. Using an intersect feature or zooming in, we
nd this value to be approximately 0.88. Alternatively, we could nd
that value by nding the positive zero of h(x) = x2 sin x. Note:
After producing the graph on a TI-83 Plus, we can nd the
approximate value 0.88 by using the following keystrokes: . The 1
is just a guess for 0.88. 17. SECTION 1.4 GRAPHING CALCULATORS AND
COMPUTERS2523. g(x) = x3 /10 is larger than f (x) = 10x2 whenever x
> 100.We see from the graphs of y = |sin x x| and y = 0.1 that
there are25.two solutions to the equation |sin x x| = 0.1: x 0.85
and x 0.85. The condition |sin x x| < 0.1 holds for any x lying
between these two values, that is, 0.85 < x < 0.85. 27. (a)
The root functions y =y= x, 4 x and y = 6 x(b) The root functions y
= x, y = 3 x and y = 5 x(c) The root functions y = y = 4 x and y =
5 x x, y = 3 x,(d) For any n, the nth root of 0 is 0 and the nth
root of 1 is 1; that is, all nth root functions pass through the
points (0, 0) and (1, 1). For odd n, the domain of the nth root
function is R, while for even n, it is {x R | x 0}. Graphs of even
root functions look similar to that of x, while those of odd root
functions resemble that of 3 x. As n increases, the graph of n x
becomes steeper near 0 and atter for x > 1. 29. f (x) = x4 + cx2
+ x. If c < 1.5, there are three humps: two minimum pointsand a
maximum point. These humps get atter as c increases, until at c =
1.5 two of the humps disappear and there is only one minimum point.
This single hump then moves to the right and approaches the origin
as c increases. 31. y = xn 2x . As n increases, the maximum of
thefunction moves further from the origin, and gets larger. Note,
however, that regardless of n, the function approaches 0 as x . 18.
26CHAPTER 1 FUNCTIONS AND MODELS33. y 2 = cx3 + x2 . If c < 0,
the loop is to the right of the origin, and if c is positive,it is
to the left. In both cases, the closer c is to 0, the larger the
loop is. (In the limiting case, c = 0, the loop is innite, that is,
it doesnt close.) Also, the larger |c| is, the steeper the slope is
on the loopless side of the origin. 35. The graphing window is 95
pixels wide and we want to start with x = 0 and end with x = 2.
Since there are 94 gapsbetween pixels, the distance between pixels
is20 94 .Thus, the x-values that the calculator actually plots are
x = 0 +where n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 93, 94. For y = sin 2x, the
actual points plotted by the calculator are n = 0, 1, . . . , 94.
For y = sin 96x, the points plotted are sin 96 2 94 n = sin 94 =
sin 2 2 942 942 94 n, sin 96 n+2n2 942 94n n, sin 2 2 94for n = 0,
1, . . . , 94. But n = sin 2n + 2 [by periodicity of sine],2 942
94nn = 0, 1, . . . , 94So the y-values, and hence the points,
plotted for y = sin 96x are identical to those plotted for y = sin
2x. Note: Try graphing y = sin 94x. Can you see why all the
y-values are zero?1.5 Exponential Functions 1. (a) f (x) = ax , a
> 0(b) R(c) (0, )(d) See Figures 4(c), 4(b), and 4(a),
respectively.3. All of these graphs approach 0 as x , all of them
pass through the point(0, 1), and all of them are increasing and
approach as x . The larger the base, the faster the function
increases for x > 0, and the faster it approaches 0 as x .Note:
The notation x can be thought of as x becomes large at this point.
More details on this notation are given in Chapter 2. 5. The
functions with bases greater than 1 (3x and 10x ) are increasing,
while thosewith bases less than 11 x 3and1 x 10are decreasing. The
graph ofreection of that of 3x about the y-axis, and the graph of1
x 101 x 3is theis the reection ofthat of 10x about the y-axis. The
graph of 10x increases more quickly than that of 3x for x > 0,
and approaches 0 faster as x . 7. We start with the graph of y = 4x
(Figure 3) and thenshift 3 units downward. This shift doesnt affect
the domain, but the range of y = 4x 3 is (3, ) . There is a
horizontal asymptote of y = 3. y = 4xy = 4x 3n2 94 n,for 19.
SECTION 1.5 EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS279. We start with the graph of y
= 2x (Figure 3),reect it about the y-axis, and then about the
x-axis (or just rotate 180 to handle both reections) to obtain the
graph of y = 2x .In each graph, y = 0 is the horizontal asymptote.y
= 2xy = 2xy = 2x11. We start with the graph of y = ex (Figure 13)
and reect about the y-axis to get the graph of y = ex . Then we
compress thegraph vertically by a factor of 2 to obtain the graph
of y = 1 ex and then reect about the x-axis to get the graph of 2 y
= 1 ex . Finally, we shift the graph upward one unit to get the
graph of y = 1 1 ex . 2 213. (a) To nd the equation of the graph
that results from shifting the graph of y = ex 2 units downward, we
subtract 2 from theoriginal function to get y = ex 2. (b) To nd the
equation of the graph that results from shifting the graph of y =
ex 2 units to the right, we replace x with x 2 in the original
function to get y = e(x2) . (c) To nd the equation of the graph
that results from reecting the graph of y = ex about the x-axis, we
multiply the original function by 1 to get y = ex . (d) To nd the
equation of the graph that results from reecting the graph of y =
ex about the y-axis, we replace x with x in the original function
to get y = ex . (e) To nd the equation of the graph that results
from reecting the graph of y = ex about the x-axis and then about
the y-axis, we rst multiply the original function by 1 (to get y =
ex ) and then replace x with x in this equation to get y = ex . 15.
(a) The denominator 1 + ex is never equal to zero because ex >
0, so the domain of f (x) = 1/(1 + ex ) is R.(b) 1 ex = 0 ex = 1 x
= 0, so the domain of f (x) = 1/(1 ex ) is (, 0) (0, ). 17. Use y =
Cax with the points (1, 6) and (3, 24).4 = a2 a = 2 [since a >
0] and C =19. If f (x) = 5x , then6 = Ca1 6 2C=6 aand 24 = Ca3 24

100 25 = 3200(b) In t hours, there will be t/3 doubling periods.
The initial population is 100, so the population y at time t is y =
100 2t/3 . (c) t = 20 y = 100 220/3 10,159 (d) We graph y1 = 100
2x/3 and y2 = 50,000. The two curves intersect at x 26.9, so the
population reaches 50,000 in about 26.9 hours.27. An exponential
model is y = abt , where a = 3.154832569 1012and b = 1.017764706.
This model gives y(1993) 5498 million and y(2010) 7417 million.From
the graph, it appears that f is an odd function (f is undened for x
= 0).29.To prove this, we must show that f (x) = f (x). 1 1 1/x
e1/x 1 e1/(x) 1 e(1/x) e1/x 1 e f (x) = = = 1/x = 1/x 1 1 + e1/(x)
1 + e(1/x) e e +1 1 + 1/x e 1 e1/x = f (x) = 1 + e1/x so f is an
odd function.1.6 Inverse Functions and Logarithms 1. (a) See
Denition 1.(b) It must pass the Horizontal Line Test. 3. f is not
one-to-one because 2 6= 6, but f (2) = 2.0 = f (6). 5. No
horizontal line intersects the graph of f more than once. Thus, by
the Horizontal Line Test, f is one-to-one. 21. SECTION 1.6 INVERSE
FUNCTIONS AND LOGARITHMS297. The horizontal line y = 0 (the x-axis)
intersects the graph of f in more than one point. Thus, by the
Horizontal Line Test,f is not one-to-one. 9. The graph of f (x) =
x2 2x is a parabola with axis of symmetry x = 2 b = = 1. Pick any
x-values equidistant 2a 2(1)from 1 to nd two equal function values.
For example, f (0) = 0 and f (2) = 0, so f is not one-to-one. 11.
g(x) = 1/x.x1 6= x2 g (x1 ) 6= g (x2 ), so g is one-to-one. 1/x1 6=
1/x2Geometric solution: The graph of g is the hyperbola shown in
Figure 14 in Section 1.2. It passes the Horizontal Line Test, so g
is one-to-one. 13. A football will attain every height h up to its
maximum height twice: once on the way up, and again on the way
down. Thus,even if t1 does not equal t2 , f (t1 ) may equal f (t2
), so f is not 1-1. 15. Since f (2) = 9 and f is 1-1, we know that
f 1 (9) = 2. Remember, if the point (2, 9) is on the graph of f,
then the point(9, 2) is on the graph of f 1 . 17. First, we must
determine x such that g(x) = 4. By inspection, we see that if x =
0, then g(x) = 4. Since g is 1-1 (g is anincreasing function), it
has an inverse, and g1 (4) = 0. 19. We solve C =5 9 (F 32) for F :
9 C = F 32 F = 9 C + 32. This gives us a formula for the inverse

is x 0. 3 ln y. Interchange x and y: y = 3 ln x. So f 1 (x) = 3 ln
x. x = ey 3. Interchange x and y: y = ex 3. So f 1 (x) = ex 3. y 1
= x4 x = 4 y 1 (not since x 0). Interchange x and y: y = 4 x 1. So
f 1 (x) = 4 x 1. The graph of y = 4 x 1 is just the graph of y = 4
x shifted right one unit.27. y = f (x) = x4 + 1From the graph, we
see that f and f 1 are reections about the line y = x.29. Reect the
graph of f about the line y = x. The points (1, 2), (1, 1),(2, 2),
and (3, 3) on f are reected to (2, 1), (1, 1), (2, 2), and (3, 3)
on f 1 . x = 1 y2 + 3 22. 30CHAPTER 1 FUNCTIONS AND MODELS31. (a)

a = 1, b = 1, and c = e) gives x = 1 1 1 + 4e , but we reject the
negative root since the natural logarithm is not 2 dened for x <

point (x, y) is on the graph of y = f (x), then the point (x c, y)
is that point shifted c units to the left. Since f is1-1, the point
(y, x) is on the graph of y = f 1 (x) and the point corresponding
to (x c, y) on the graph of f is (y, x c) on the graph of f 1 .
Thus, the curves reection is shifted down the same number of units
as the curve itself is shifted to the left. So an expression for
the inverse function is g 1 (x) = f 1 (x) c. (b) If we compress (or
stretch) a curve horizontally, the curves reection in the line y =
x is compressed (or stretched) vertically by the same factor. Using
this geometric principle, we see that the inverse of h(x) = f(cx)
can be expressed as h1 (x) = (1/c) f 1 (x). 25. CHAPTER 1 REVIEW331
Review1. (a) A function f is a rule that assigns to each element x
in a set A exactly one element, called f(x), in a set B. The set A
iscalled the domain of the function. The range of f is the set of
all possible values of f (x) as x varies throughout the domain. (b)
If f is a function with domain A, then its graph is the set of
ordered pairs {(x, f (x)) | x A}. (c) Use the Vertical Line Test on
page 16. 2. The four ways to represent a function are: verbally,
numerically, visually, and algebraically. An example of each is
givenbelow. Verbally: An assignment of students to chairs in a
classroom (a description in words) Numerically: A tax table that
assigns an amount of tax to an income (a table of values) Visually:
A graphical history of the Dow Jones average (a graph)
Algebraically: A relationship between distance, rate, and time: d =
rt (an explicit formula) 3. (a) An even function f satises f (x) =
f (x) for every number x in its domain. It is symmetric with
respect to the y-axis.(b) An odd function g satises g(x) = g(x) for
every number x in its domain. It is symmetric with respect to the
origin. 4. A function f is called increasing on an interval I if f
(x1 ) < f (x2 ) whenever x1 < x2 in I. 5. A mathematical
model is a mathematical description (often by means of a function
or an equation) of a real-worldphenomenon. 6. (a) Linear function:

(a) The domain of f + g is the intersection of the domain of f and
the domain of g; that is, A B.(b) The domain of f g is also A B.(c)
The domain of f /g must exclude values of x that make g equal to 0;
that is, {x A B | g(x) 6= 0}.10. Given two functions f and g, the
composite function f g is dened by (f g) (x) = f (g (x)). The
domain of f g is theset of all x in the domain of g such that g(x)
is in the domain of f . 11. (a) If the graph of f is shifted 2
units upward, its equation becomes y = f (x) + 2.(b) If the graph
of f is shifted 2 units downward, its equation becomes y = f (x) 2.
(c) If the graph of f is shifted 2 units to the right, its equation
becomes y = f (x 2). (d) If the graph of f is shifted 2 units to
the left, its equation becomes y = f (x + 2). (e) If the graph of f
is reected about the x-axis, its equation becomes y = f (x). (f )
If the graph of f is reected about the y-axis, its equation becomes
y = f (x). (g) If the graph of f is stretched vertically by a
factor of 2, its equation becomes y = 2f (x). (h) If the graph of f
is shrunk vertically by a factor of 2, its equation becomes y = 1 f
(x). 2 (i) If the graph of f is stretched horizontally by a factor
of 2, its equation becomes y = f1 x 2.(j) If the graph of f is
shrunk horizontally by a factor of 2, its equation becomes y = f
(2x). 12. (a) A function f is called a one-to-one function if it
never takes on the same value twice; that is, if f (x1 ) 6= f (x2 )
wheneverx1 6= x2 . (Or, f is 1-1 if each output corresponds to only
one input.)Use the Horizontal Line Test: A function is one-to-one
if and only if no horizontal line intersects its graph more
thanonce. (b) If f is a one-to-one function with domain A and range
B, then its inverse function f 1 has domain B and range A and is
dened by f 1 (y) = x f (x) = y for any y in B. The graph of f 1 is
obtained by reecting the graph of f about the line y = x. 27.

graph of y = f (x) + 8, we shift the graph of y = f (x) up 8
units.(b) To obtain the graph of y = f (x + 8), we shift the graph
of y = f (x) left 8 units. (c) To obtain the graph of y = 1 + 2f

and then shift the resulting graph 1 unit upward. (d) To obtain the
graph of y = f (x 2) 2, we shift the graph of y = f (x) right 2
units (for the 2 inside the parentheses), and then shift the
resulting graph 2 units downward. (e) To obtain the graph of y = f
(x), we reect the graph of y = f (x) about the x-axis. (f ) To
obtain the graph of y = f 1 (x), we reect the graph of y = f(x)
about the line y = x (assuming f is oneto-one). 11. y = sin 2x:
Start with the graph of y = sin x, compress horizontally by a
factor of 2, and reect about the x-axis.13. y =1 (1 2+ ex ):Start
with the graph of y = ex , shift 1 unit upward, and compress

powers of x, so f is odd. 22(c) f (x) = e(x) = ex = f (x), so f is

the slopes do not appear to be approaching any particular value. We
see that problems with estimation are caused by the
frequent(b)oscillations of the graph. The tangent is so steep at P
that we need to take x-values much closer to 1 in order to get
accurate estimates of its slope.(c) If we choose x = 1.001, then
the point Q is (1.001, 0.0314) and mP Q 31.3794. If x = 0.999, then
Q is (0.999, 0.0314) and mP Q = 31.4422. The average of these

how many times we zoom in toward the origin, the graphs of f (x) =
sin(/x) appear to consist of almost-verticallines. This indicates
more and more frequent oscillations as x 0.There appear to be
vertical asymptotes of the curve y = tan(2 sin x) at x 0.9041.and x
2.24. To nd the exact equations of these asymptotes, we note that
the graph of the tangent function has vertical asymptotes at x =
must have 2 sin x = 2+ n, or equivalently, sin x = 4 2+ n. Thus,
we+ n. Since 21 sin x 1, we must have sin x = and so x = sin1 4
4(correspondingto x 0.90). Just as 150 is the reference angle for
30 , sin1 reference angle for sin1 . So x = sin1 4 vertical

the Heaviside function dened in Exercise 1.3.57.Thus, either f or g

but lim [f (x)g(x)] = lim 0 = 0. x0x0x0x061. Since the denominator

|x 1| < |x 1| < /2. So if we choose = /2, then 0 < |x 1|

0 < |x a| < . But |x a| < (from the hint). Now if we can
nd a positive constant C such that x + a > C then | x a| = x+ a
|x a| |x a| < < , and we take |x a| < C. We can nd this
number by restricting x to lie in some interval C x+ a centered at
a. If |x a| < 1 a, then 1 a < x a < 1 a 2 2 2 C=1 2a =

So |x a| 1 2a x+ a > |x a| < | x a| = x+ a1 a 2+1 a, 21 a 2+

|f(x) L| < 1 . Take any rational 2number r with 0 < |r| <

irrational number s with 2 2 0 < |s| < . Then f (s) = 1, so
|1 L| < 1 . Hence, 1 L < 1 , so L > 1 . This contradicts L

limit, lim ln x = . x0+2.5 Continuity 1. From Denition 1, lim f (x)
= f (4). x43. (a) The following are the numbers at which f is
discontinuous and the type of discontinuity at that number: 4
(removable),2 ( jump), 2 ( jump), 4 (innite).(b) f is continuous
from the left at 2 sincelim f (x) = f (2). f is continuous from the
right at 2 and 4 sincex2lim f(x) = f (2) and lim f (x) = f (4). It
is continuous from neither side at 4 since f (4) is
undened.x2+x4+5. The graph of y = f (x) must have a discontinuity
at x = 3 and must show that lim f(x) = f (3). x37. (a)(b) There are
discontinuities at times t = 1, 2, 3, and 4. A person parking in
the lot would want to keep in mind that the charge will jump at the

functions,lim [2f (x) g(x)] = 2 lim f (x) lim g(x)x3x3x3= 2f(3)
g(3)[by Limit Laws 2 and 3] [by continuity of f and g at x = 3]= 2

have 10 g(3) = 4, so g(3) = 6. x3 47. 56CHAPTER 2LIMITS AND

f is continuous at x = a for every a in (2, ); that is, f is
continuous on (2, ). 15. f (x) = ln |x 2| is discontinuous at 2
since f(2) = ln 0 is not dened.17. f (x) =exif x < 02if x 0xThe
left-hand limit of f at a = 0 is lim f (x) = lim ex = 1. The
x0x0right-hand limit of f at a = 0 is lim f (x) = lim x2 = 0. Since
these x0+x0+limits are not equal, lim f (x) does not exist and f is
discontinuous at 0. x0 cos x 19. f (x) = 0 1 x2if x < 0 if x = 0
if x > 0lim f (x) = 1, but f (0) = 0 6= 1, so f is discontinuous
at 0.x021. F (x) =x is a rational function. So by Theorem 5 (or
Theorem 7), F is continuous at every number in its domain, x2 + 5x

2x 1 are continuous on (, ). By Theorem 7, the root function
continuous on [0, ). By Theorem 9, the composite function 2x 1 is
continuous on its domain, [ 1 , ). 2 2 1 By part 1 of Theorem 4,
the sum R(x) = x + 2x 1 is continuous on [ 2 , ). x is 48. SECTION
2.5 CONTINUITY5725. By Theorem 7, the exponential function e5t and
the trigonometric function cos 2t are continuous on (, ).By part 4
of Theorem 4, L(t) = e5t cos 2t is continuous on (, ). 27. By
Theorem 5, the polynomial t4 1 is continuous on (, ). By Theorem 7,
ln x is continuous on its domain, (0, ).By Theorem 9, ln t4 1 is
continuous on its domain, which is t | t4 1 > 0 = t | t4 > 1
= {t | |t| > 1} = (, 1) (1, ) 29. The function y =1 is
discontinuous at x = 0 because the 1 + e1/xleft- and right-hand
limits at x = 0 are different.31. Because we are dealing with root
functions, 5 + x is continuous on [0, ), x + 5 is continuous on [5,
), so the 5+ x is continuous on [0, ). Since f is continuous at x =
4, lim f (x) = f (4) = 7 . quotient f (x) = 3 x4 5+x 33. Because x2
x is continuous on R, the composite function f (x) = ex2 xis
continuous on R, solim f (x) = f (1) = e1 1 = e0 = 1.x135. f (x)
=x2 xif x < 1 if x 1By Theorem 5, since f (x) equals the
polynomial x2 on (, 1), f is continuous on (, 1). By Theorem 7,
since f (x) equals the root function x on (1, ), f is continuous on
(1, ). At x = 1, lim f(x) = lim x2 = 1 and x1x1 lim f (x) = lim x =
1. Thus, lim f(x) exists and equals 1. Also, f (1) = 1 = 1. Thus, f
is continuous at x = 1.x1+x1x1+We conclude that f is continuous on
(, ). 1 + x2 37. f (x) = 2 x (x 2)2if x 0if 0 < x 2 if x > 2f
is continuous on (, 0), (0, 2), and (2, ) since it is a polynomial
on each of these intervals. Now lim f (x) = lim (1 + x2 ) = 1 and
lim f (x) = lim (2 x) = 2, so f is x0x0x0+x0+discontinuous at 0.
Since f (0) = 1, f is continuous from the left at 0. Also, lim f
(x) = lim (2 x) = 0, x2x2lim f (x) = lim (x 2)2 = 0, and f (2) = 0,
so f is continuous at 2. The only number at which f is
discontinuous is 0.x2+x2+ 49. 58CHAPTER 2LIMITS AND DERIVATIVES x +

on (, 0) and (1, ) since on each of these intervalsit is a
polynomial; it is continuous on (0, 1) since it is an exponential.
Now lim f (x) = lim (x + 2) = 2 and lim f (x) = lim ex = 1, so f is
discontinuous at 0. Since f (0) = 1, f is x0x0x0+x0+continuous from
the right at 0. Also lim f (x) = lim ex = e and lim f (x) = lim (2
x) = 1, so f is discontinuous x1x1x1+x1+at 1. Since f (1) = e, f is
continuous from the left at 1. 41. f (x) =cx2 + 2x 3x cxif x < 2
if x 2f is continuous on (, 2) and (2, ). Now lim f (x) = lim x2lim
f (x) = limx2+x2+x2cx2 + 2x = 4c + 4 andx3 cx = 8 2c. So f is
continuous 4c + 4 = 8 2c 6c = 4 c = 2 . Thus, for f 3to be
continuous on (, ), c = 2 . 3 43. (a) f (x) =(x2 + 1)(x2 1) (x2 +

agrees with f for x 6= 2 and is continuous on R. (c) lim f (x) =
lim [[sin x]] = lim 0 = 0 and lim f (x) = lim [[sin x]] = lim (1) =
1, so lim f (x) does not x x x x +x +x +xexist. The discontinuity
at x = is a jump discontinuity. 45. f (x) = x2 + 10 sin x is
continuous on the interval [31, 32], f (31) 957, and f(32) 1030.
Since 957 < 1000 < 1030,there is a number c in (31, 32) such
that f (c) = 1000 by the Intermediate Value Theorem. Note: There is
also a number c in (32, 31) such that f (c) = 1000. 47. f (x) = x4
+ x 3 is continuous on the interval [1, 2], f (1) = 1, and f(2) =
15. Since 1 < 0 < 15, there is a number cin (1, 2) such that
f (c) = 0 by the Intermediate Value Theorem. Thus, there is a root
of the equation x4 + x 3 = 0 in the interval (1, 2). 49. f (x) =
cos x x is continuous on the interval [0, 1], f (0) = 1, and f(1) =
cos 1 1 0.46. Since 0.46 < 0 < 1, thereis a number c in (0,
1) such that f (c) = 0 by the Intermediate Value Theorem. Thus,
there is a root of the equation cos x x = 0, or cos x = x, in the
interval (0, 1). 50. SECTION 2.5 CONTINUITY5951. (a) f (x) = cos x
x3 is continuous on the interval [0, 1], f (0) = 1 > 0, and f
(1) = cos 1 1 0.46 < 0. Since1 > 0 > 0.46, there is a
number c in (0, 1) such that f (c) = 0 by the Intermediate Value
Theorem. Thus, there is a root of the equation cos x x3 = 0, or cos
x = x3 , in the interval (0, 1). (b) f (0.86) 0.016 > 0 and f
(0.87) 0.014 < 0, so there is a root between 0.86 and 0.87, that
is, in the interval (0.86, 0.87). 53. (a) Let f (x) = 100ex/100
0.01x2 . Then f (0) = 100 > 0 andf (100) = 100e1 100 63.2 <
0. So by the Intermediate Value Theorem, there is a number c in (0,
100) such that f (c) = 0. This implies that 100ec/100 = 0.01c2 .
(b) Using the intersect feature of the graphing device, we nd that
the root of the equation is x = 70.347, correct to three decimal
places. 55. () If f is continuous at a, then by Theorem 8 with g(h)
= a + h, we havelim f (a + h) = f lim (a + h) = f (a).h0h0() Let
> 0. Since lim f(a + h) = f (a), there exists > 0 such that 0
< |h| < h0|f (a + h) f (a)| < . So if 0 < |x a| < ,
then |f (x) f (a)| = |f (a + (x a)) f (a)| < . Thus, lim f (x) =
f (a) and so f is continuous at a. xa57. As in the previous
exercise, we must show that lim cos(a + h) = cos a to prove that
the cosine function is continuous. h0lim cos(a + h) = lim (cos a
cos h sin a sin h) = lim (cos a cos h) lim (sin a sin h)h0h0=59. f
(x) =lim cos ah00 if x is rational 1 if x is irrationalh0lim cos h
lim sin ah0h0h0lim sin h = (cos a)(1) (sin a)(0) = cos ah0is
continuous nowhere. For, given any number a and any > 0, the
interval (a , a + )contains both innitely many rational and
innitely many irrational numbers. Since f (a) = 0 or 1, there are
innitely many numbers x with 0 < |x a| < and |f (x) f (a)| =
1. Thus, lim f(x) 6= f (a). [In fact, lim f (x) does not even
exist.] xa61. If there is such a number, it satises the equation x3
+ 1 = xxa x3 x + 1 = 0. Let the left-hand side of this equation
becalled f (x). Now f (2) = 5 < 0, and f (1) = 1 > 0. Note
also that f (x) is a polynomial, and thus continuous. So by the
Intermediate Value Theorem, there is a number c between 2 and 1
such that f(c) = 0, so that c = c3 + 1. 63. f (x) = x4 sin(1/x) is
continuous on (, 0) (0, ) since it is the product of a polynomial
and a composite of atrigonometric function and a rational function.
Now since 1 sin(1/x) 1, we have x4 x4 sin(1/x) x4 . Because 51.
60CHAPTER 2 LIMITS AND DERIVATIVESlim (x4 ) = 0 and lim x4 = 0, the
Squeeze Theorem gives us lim (x4 sin(1/x)) = 0, which equals f(0).
Thus, f isx0x0x0continuous at 0 and, hence, on (, ). 65. Dene u(t)
to be the monks distance from the monastery, as a function of time,
on the rst day, and dene d(t) to be hisdistance from the monastery,
as a function of time, on the second day. Let D be the distance
from the monastery to the top of the mountain. From the given
information we know that u(0) = 0, u(12) = D, d(0) = D and d(12) =
0. Now consider the function u d, which is clearly continuous. We
calculate that (u d)(0) = D and (u d)(12) = D. So by the
Intermediate Value Theorem, there must be some time t0 between 0
and 12 such that (u d)(t0 ) = 0 u(t0 ) = d(t0 ). So at time t0
after 7:00 AM, the monk will be at the same place on both days.2.6

From the graph, it appears y = 1 is a horizontal asymptote.3x3 +

1+0+0+0 The discrepancy can be explained by the choice of the
viewing window. Try [100,000, 100,000] by [1, 4] to get a graph
that lends credibility to our calculation that y = 3 is a
horizontal asymptote.47. Lets look for a rational function.(1)lim
f(x) = 0 degree of numerator < degree of denominatorx(2) lim f
(x) = there is a factor of x2 in the denominator (not just x, since
that would produce a sign x0change at x = 0), and the function is
negative near x = 0. (3) lim f (x) = and lim f(x) = vertical
asymptote at x = 3; there is a factor of (x 3) in the
x3x3+denominator. (4) f (2) = 0 2 is an x-intercept; there is at
least one factor of (x 2) in the numerator. Combining all of this
information and putting in a negative sign to give us the desired
left- and right-hand limits gives us f (x) =2x as one possibility.
x2 (x 3)49. y = f (x) = x4 x6 = x4 (1 x2 ) = x4 (1 + x)(1 x). The
y-intercept isf (0) = 0. The x-intercepts are 0, 1, and 1 [found by
solving f (x) = 0 for x]. Since x4 > 0 for x 6= 0, f doesnt
change sign at x = 0. The function does change sign at x = 1 and x
= 1. As x , f (x) = x4 (1 x2 ) approaches because x4 and (1 x2 ) .
51. y = f (x) = (3 x)(1 + x)2 (1 x)4 . The y-intercept is f (0) =
3(1)2 (1)4 = 3.The x-intercepts are 3, 1, and 1. There is a sign
change at 3, but not at 1 and 1. When x is large positive, 3 x is
negative and the other factors are positive, so lim f (x) = . When
x is large negative, 3 x is positive, soxlim f(x) = .xsin x 1 1 for
x > 0. As x , 1/x 0 and 1/x 0, so by the Squeeze x x x sin x =

all x, 56. SECTION 2.6 LIMITS AT INFINITY; HORIZONTAL ASYMPTOTES(b)
From part (a), the horizontal asymptote is y = 0. The function y =
(sin x)/x crosses the horizontal asymptote whenever sin x = 0; that
is, at x = n for every integer n. Thus, the graph crosses the
asymptote an innite number of times.55. Divide the numerator and
the denominator by the highest power of x in Q(x).(a) If deg P <
deg Q, then the numerator 0 but the denominator doesnt. So lim [P
(x)/Q(x)] = 0. x(b) If deg P > deg Q, then the numerator but the
denominator doesnt, so lim [P (x)/Q(x)] = x(depending on the ratio
of the leading coefcients of P and Q). 5 x 1/ x = lim 57. lim x x x

Let g(x) =3x2 + 1 and f (x) = |g(x) 1.5|. Note that 2x2 + x + 1lim
g(x) =x3 2and lim f(x) = 0. We are interested in nding the xx-value
at which f (x) < 0.05. From the graph, we nd that x 14.804, so
we choose N = 15 (or any larger number). 63. For = 0.5, we need to
nd N such that2.5 < 4x2 + 1 (2) < 0.5 x+1 4x2 + 1 < 1.5
whenever x N. We graph the three parts of this x+1inequality on the
same screen, and see that the inequality holds for x 6. So we
choose N = 6 (or any smaller number). 4x2 + 1 For = 0.1, we need
2.1 < < 1.9 whenever x N. From the x+1 graph, it seems that
this inequality holds for x 22. So we choose N = 22 (or any smaller
number).65 57. 66
