Obviously, if you are stock and do not know how to solve the problem you may read my solutions. But, after reading the solutions, even if you are sure that you understood my solutions, you should try to solve the problem by yourself without checking your steps against mine. Only, after you solve the problem yourself, you may have understood how to solve similar problems (but not necessarily another type.) The ability to solve problems increases by training to think logical, solve more problems by yourself or in group, and discussing the problem in a group preferably at the presence of a pedagogue mathematician. My solutions are just suggested ones. Usually there are more than one methods of solving a given problem. Warning: Just reading the solutions can never replace your own struggle in solving a given problem. By just reading the solutions you may not be able to understand the mathematics of the problem deep enough and therefore, it will not help you to solve a new problem by yourself. Your comments and possible corrections are deeply appreciated. Behzad Massoumzadeh, Ph.D. Sjdalsgymnasiet; Paradistorget 4; 141 85; Huddinge; Sweden behzad.massoumzadeh@huddinge.se P.S. I would appreciate your comments greatly. Please inform me of any possible error as soon as possible so I correct it immediately! Behzad

a = sin 24 , b = cos100 , and c = sin 165 . Justify your answer. Suggested solutions:
(1/1)
b = cos100 is a negative number. This is due to the fact that according to the unit circle, 100 is in the second quadrant, and cosine of angles in the second quadrant are negative. [1/0] c = sin 165 = sin (180 15) = sin 15 On the other hand, due to the fact that in the first quadrant sine function is an increasing function sin 15 < sin 24 sin 165 < sin 24 c < a Answer: b < c < a cos100 < sin 165 < sin 24 [0/1]

10. In the triangle ABC the sides AC and BC are of equal length. Calculate the area of the triangle. (2/0)
Suggested solution: Due to the fact that the sides AC and AB are equal, the corresponding angles must also be equal, i.e. A = B = 54 :
C = 180 ( A + B ) = 180 2 54
C = 180 108 = 72
First we may use the sine rule to find the length of AC = BC
sin B sin C sin B sin 54 = b sin C = c sin B b = c b = (4.5) 3.828 cm sin C sin 72 b c AC = b 3.828 cm

11. Use the antiderivative to calculate the area of the region enclosed by the functions f ( x ) = x 2 + x + 1 and g ( x ) = 9 x (3/0).
Suggested solution: In order to visualize the problem, we may plot the curves of f ( x ) = x 2 + x + 1 and g ( x ) = 9 x on the same coordinate systems. (This step is not required, but I recommend it) First we must calculate the intersection points of the curve and the line. This step is necessary and required. The values are going to decide the limits of the integral:
f (x ) = x 2 + x + 1 x2 + x + 1 = 9 x x2 + x + 1 9 + x = 0 x2 + 2x 8 = 0 g (x ) = 9 x f (x ) = g (x )

16. For which values of the constants a and b is it true that the function f ( x ) = ax 2 + bx sin 3 x has a local maximum when x = 0 ? Suggested solutions:
(1/2/)
f ( x ) = ax 2 + bx sin 3 x
f ( x ) = 2ax + b 3 cos 3 x f ( x ) = 2a + 9 sin 3 x
[1/0]
At the local maximum f ( x ) = 0 and f ( x ) < 0 . Since the function has its local maximum at x = 0 , f (0 ) = 0 and f (0 ) < 0 .
f (0 ) = 0 2a 0 + b 3 cos(3 0 ) = 0 b 3 = 0 b = 3 f (0 ) < 0 2a + 9 sin (3 0) < 0 a < 0
[0/1] [0/1]
Answer: For b = 3 and a < 0 the function f ( x ) = ax 2 + bx sin 3 x has a local maximum at x = 0 . Second method: Identical conclusion may be drawn using the x f ( x ) f ( x ) table. If the function has its maximum at x = 0 , in addition to f (0 ) = 0 , for very small values of in the immediate neighbourhood of x = 0 , the following additional conditions must also be satisfied: f ( ) > 0 and f ( ) < 0 .
f ( ) = 2a + 3 3 cos( 3 ) > 0 f ( ) = 2a + 3 3 cos(3 ) > 0 , cos = cos( ) f ( ) = 2a + 3 3 cos(3 ) < 0
Therefore, simultaneously the following conditions must be satisfied for any small number in the immediate neighbourhood of x = 0 :

17. The figure shows a parabola and a rectangle in a coordinate system. The shaded region is enclosed by the parabola and the x-axis. The area of the shaded region will from now on be referred to as the area of the parabola.
Two of the corners of the rectangle coincide with the points where the curve intersects the x-axis. One of the side of the rectangle touches the maximum point of the curve.
In this problem, you are going to investigate the relation between the area of the parabola, and the area of the rectangle. Let the equation of the parabola be y = b ax 2 , where a and b are positive numbers. You may for example start by letting b = 9 and a = 1 and draw the graph of the function y = 9 x 2 . Then determine the relation between the area of the parabola and the area of the rectangle. Choose other examples yourself and try to formulate a conclusion based on your chosen examples. Investigate if your conclusion also holds for the general case with the parabola y = b ax 2 If you want to you may go straight to investigating the general case. (3/4/)
Suggested solutions: I will investigate the problem in general. The x-intercepts of the parabola are: x1 =
