TOTAL: 50 marks.

I. Fill in the following blanks (3 marks for each blank). [Do not use decimals].

√
π −2 2
(a) If csc θ = 3, 2
< θ < π, then cos θ = 3
.

1 4−ln 50
(b) If e4x−4 = 50
, then x = 4
.
4−ln 50
We apply ln to get 4x − 4 = − ln 50 therefore x = 4
.

(d) The domain of f (x) = ln(x2 − 4) is (−∞, −2) ∪ (2, ∞).

II. Fill in the following blanks (2 marks for each blank).

1 −1
1. The solution set to the inequality −20 < x2
< 5 is (−∞, √5
) ∪ ( √15 , ∞).
1 1 1
−20 < x2
is always true. Let solve x2
< 5 which is equivalent to x2 > 5
, for which the

solutions are ( √15 , ∞)

6. limx→∞ x2 tan( x12 ) = 1 .

ex −3
III (6 marks). Let f (x) = ex +1
. Find f −1 and its domain and range.
ex −3
f is defined over (−∞, ∞). Let y = ex +1
implies x = ln( 3+x
1−x
). Therefore f −1 (x) = ln( 3+x
1−x
).
 The domain of f −1 is (−3, 1) and its range is (−∞, ∞).

IV (5 marks). Find all solutions of the equation 2 cos2 x − 2
cos x − 2
= 0. Explain your

reasoning

18 10
We have 2 cos2 x − 2
cos x − 2
= 2(cos x − 5)(cos x + 12 ). Then, either cos x = 5 which is
−1
impossible, or cos x = which occurs at x = 2π
2 3
+ 2kπ and at x = 4π
3
+ 2kπ.
2
x + 3x − 10
V (5 marks). Let f (x) = . Which value can we assign for f (−5) to make f (x)
x+5
continuous at −5? Explain your reasoning.

(x + 5)(x − 2)
lim f (x) = lim = −7
x→−5 x→−5 x+5
therefore f is continuous at −5, if we define f (−5) = −7.

VI (5+5 marks). Verify the identity (a) and express the function in (b) in terms of sine only.
