Math IV Solution Set:

1. Function defined as a relation

with one-to-one correspondence.
It means that for every value of
X in the given equation, there
corresponds a unique value of Y.
y x , is not a function
because given a value of x say
x=4, there corresponds two
values for Y, 2 and -2 C
2.

3. Solving for the domain, take note

that division by zero is
undefined. From the given
equation, x-3 must not be equal
to zero and must not be included
into the domain. Therefore the
domain of f(x) are all real
number except x = 3. D

Therefore, range for given

equation: all real numbers greater
than or equal to zero. D
5. Correction to the question:
How much will he save on the
last week of the third month?
a1= 10.00
d = 4.00
an= 4 * 3 = 12wks
a12 = a1+(12-1)d
= 10.00 + (11) 4.00
= 10.00 + 44.00
= 54.00

Statement II is false because the
next term is 42. C
8. Given: a1= 6
d = -3
an= -51
n=?
an = a1+ (n-1)d
-51 = 6+(n-1)(-3)
-51 = 6 +-3n+3
-51 = 9 + -3n
-51-9 = -3n
-60 = -3n
n = 20
D
9. Given :
a7 = 20
a20 = 59
a7 = a1 +(7-1)d
a20 = a1 +(20-1)d

20 = a1+6d
59 = a1+19d
Solving by elimination, we can
solve the value of d.
a1+19d = 59
- a1+6d = 20

Solving for a1: Solving for a25:
20=a1+6(3)
a25 = a1+24d
20 = a1+18
= 2 + 24(3)
a1 = 20-18
= 2+72
a1 = 2

10. Getting the distance between the

two poles, we must get the

11. a1= 5,600 * 12

= 67,200 (starting annual salary)
n=1
d = 250
a11 = a1+(11-1)d
= 67,200 +10 (250)
= 67,200 +2,500
= 69,700 B

15. After 6 hrs = 4 amoebas

After 12 hrs = 4*4= 16 amoebas
After 18 hrs =16*4= 64 amoebas
