2/3; roots at 3x = n, that is x = n/3.

that is 0 x 4; roots at 2 x = . . . , /2, /2, 3/2, . . ., that is x = . . . , 1, 1, 3, . . .;
y-intercept (0, 1).
R1.2. 2 t 3

R2.1. (a) quartic with 1 simple roots at x = 1, 1 cubic roots at x = 0, to + as x . So 0

when x (, 0] [1, ).
(b) cubic with simple roots at x = 0, 1 (factor first), to as x . So < 0 when
x (, 1) (0, 1).
(c) cubic with simple roots at x = 0, 1, 4 (factor first), to as x . So < 0 when
x (, 0) (1, 4).
(d) graph 1/x and the line y = 2 to see that 1/x < 2 when x (, 0) (1/2, ).
R3.1. (a) upward parabola with roots at x a; x a or x a; x (a, a).
(b) Absolute value function shifted down, with roots at x = a; x > a or x < a; a < x < a.

R4.1. (a) c2 v 2 0, use graph of negative parabola to find v [c, c]

(b) Graph should show
domain,
(c, 0), (0, Ac), It has infinite slopes at

correct

intercepts
c since f = A c v c + v c vA 2c for v c, for example, so it looks like a
stretched square root function.
R4.2. (a)
(b)
(c)
(d)

cubic with double root at 0, simple root at r0 , to as r .

upward quadratic with roots at x = r
domain t (, ), roots at (0, 0), infinite slope at root.
asymptotes at x = (2n + 1)/2 (odd multiples of /2), roots at x = n, periodic with
period , show correct asymptotic behaviour on either side of asymptote.

R5.1. Your graphs should show

(a) Domain x 5 0, that is x 5; shifted square root graph; infinite slope at x = 5 must
be clearlyvisible.
(b) Use that x2 = |x|.
(c) Shifted graph of |x| to the left, with intercept at x = 2.
(d) Negative cosine with period 2 shifted up by one and then halved in magnitude. So 0
f (x) 1 (max 1, min 0), with intercepts when cos(x) = 1, that is, x = 2n, that is,
x = 2n. Maximum value of 1 at all odd integers values of x.

R6.1. (a) f (x) = lim

Your sketch should show a generic graph of y = f (x), the points

(x, f (x)) (x + h, f (x + h)), and a triangle showing slope of secant line. Draw a sketch that
illustrates itsgeometrical significance.

R8.2. Volume is increasing for t (0, 3) (9, 11), decreasing for t (6, 8) (why round and not square
brackets?) After 2 minutes water is entering at 40/3 gal/min. The graph of the rate of change
is piecewise constant, with holes at t = 0, 3, 6, 8, 9. make sure its correctly labeled.
R9.1. f (x) = x(2a + x)/(a + x)2 = 0 at x = 0, 2a. f (x) = (2a2 )/(a + x)3 = 0 nowhere.

R9.2. (a) y = g(x) + xg (x)

(b) y = (g(x) xg (x))/g 2 (x)
(c) y = (xg (x) g(x))/x2
R9.3. Obtain the graphs in steps: first reflect y = ex about y-axis, then divide by 2 and reflect
about x-axis, the add 1. Your graph should show: asymptote at y = 1 intercepts (1/2, 0) and
( ln 2, 0), y as x , concave down throughout.
R10.1. (a) f (x) = 3x2 sin(x3 ),

R10.4. (a) y = sec ( x)/(2 x)
R10.5. (a) change in cost of loan per change in interest rate
(b) If interest rate increases by 1%, the total cost of repaying the loan will increase by 1200.
(c) f (r) > 0 always since larger interest rates will yield larger total cost.
