𝑺𝑺𝟏 ∩ 𝑺𝑺𝟐 = (−∞, −𝟔] ∪ [−𝟑, +∞). 𝑑=2
𝑆𝑛 = 1240.
2. Solution:
Let 𝑚 = 2 𝑥 , then 𝑛
𝑆𝑛 = 2𝑎1 + (𝑛 − 1)𝑑

22𝑥+1 − 5 ⋅ 2 𝑥 = 3 𝑛
1240 = [2 10 + (𝑛 − 1)2]

2𝑚 − 5𝑚 − 3 = 0 2
1240 = 2
2𝑚 + 1 (𝑚 − 3) = 0 𝑛 + 9𝑛

0 = 𝑛2 + 9𝑛 − 1240
Then, 2𝑚 + 1 = 0 or 2 𝑥 = −1/2. (no solution)
Also, 𝑚 − 3 = 0 or 2 𝑥 = 3 or 𝒙 = 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝟐 𝟑. 0 = 𝑛 − 31 (𝑛 + 40)

4. Solution:
3 sin 𝑥 + cos 2𝑥 = −1
3 sin 𝑥 + (1 − 2 sin2 𝑥) = −1
2 sin2 𝑥 − 3 sin 𝑥 − 2 = 0
2 sin 𝑥 + 1 (sin 𝑥 − 2) = 0

Then sin 𝑥 = −1/2 or 𝒙 = 𝟕𝝅/𝟔 and 𝟏𝟏𝝅/𝟔.

Also, sin 𝑥 = 2 or 𝑥 = arcsin 2. (no solution) Let 𝑥1 be the horizontal distance from the helicopter to the
headquarters.

V. Problem Solving (5 PTS EACH)

1. Let 𝑟 be Sarah’s rate.

Let 𝑡 be the time in hours when Sarah and Chuck met (prior to
Sarah).

rate time distance

Chuck 30 𝑡 + 1/2 105
Sarah 𝑟 𝑡 105

1
From Chuck’s equation for distance, 30 𝑡 + = 105km.
2
Thus, 𝑡 = 3hrs.
From Sarah’s equation of distance, 𝑟𝑡 = 105km.
Then since 𝑡 = 3hrs, 𝒓 = 𝟑𝟓kph.
