Tutorial Section:

1. (Demonstration) (p. 37, Q. 57) One hundred grams of a particular radioactive substance decays
according to the function m(t) = 100 et/650 , where t > 0 measures time in years. When does the mass
reach 50 grams?


2. (Demonstration) (p. 49, Q. 90) Sketch p(t) = 2.5 sin 12 (t 3) .
Steps for manipulating graphs: Given the graph of y = f (x), the graph of y = cf (a(x b)) + d can
be obtained by using the following procedure:
(a) Rescale the graph horizontally (along the x-axis) to its

1
times.
a

(b) Move the graph to the right by b units.

(c) Rescale the graph vertically (along the y-axis) to its c times.
(d) Move the graph upward by d units.
3. (Demonstration) (p. 49, Q. 84) Find values of all other five trigonometric functions given sin =
where < < 3/2.

7. (Class work) (p. 37, Q. 58) The population P if a small town is growing according to the function
P (t) = 100et/50 , where t measures the number of years after 2010. How long does it take the population
to double?
Answer: When t = 0, P (0) = 100. Suppose when t = t0 , the population doubles, then P (t0 ) = 2P (0),
so 100et0 /50 = 200, i.e., t0 /50 = ln 2, thus t0 = 50 ln 2.
8. (Class work) (p, 49, Q. 94) Sketch p(x) = 3 sin(2x 3 ) + 1.


Answer: Follow the procedure given in Q2. p(x) = 3 sin 2(x ) + 1, so a = 2, b =

And the graph is:

c = 3, d = 1.

10. (Class work) (page 53, Q. 51) Draw a right-triangle to simplify sin(2 cos1 x).
Answer: Let cos1 x = .
Then 0 and cos = x. So sin =
sin(2) = 2 sin cos = 2x 1 x2 .

1 x2 . Hence sin(2 cos1 x) =
