Assignment
11:
Read
Chapter 7 - Section 3.
Answer
the following questions, and work the following problems:
Questions:
Problem 1:
What is the difference between an equation and an
identity?
Solutions 1:
An identity is an equation that is true for all values of the variable(s). An equation is true for a finite number of values of the variable(s).
For example, 
is true for every
value of x and is therefore an identity.
For example, 
is true only when 
.
Problem 2:
How can you illustrate that 
is equivalent to 
graphically?
Solutions 2:
Graph and graph on the same graph
display and you will just one graph.
Problem 3:
Is 
an equation or an
identity? Why?
Solutions 3:
If you graph 
and 
on the same
graphically display, you will see two graphs that intersect at finite
points. This indicates that the above
equation is not an identity.
Problem 4:
If the expression 
is a valid expression,
what are the restrictions on the domain?
Solutions 4:
We must eliminate all those values of x such that 
.
when
and when 
. Therefore, these
values must be eliminated from the domain.
Problem 5:
Solve for the exact value(s) of t in
.
Solution 5:
Rewrite an 
and solve.
when
.
is
impossible because there is no t such that 
.
Problem 6:
Solve for the exact value(s) of t in
.
Solution 6:
Only 
works. Why?
The values of the sine function are restricted such that
. 
is
outside that range.
Problem 7:
Solve
for the exact value(s) of t in 
.
Solution 7:
when
.
when
Problem 8:
Solve
for the exact value(s) of t in 
Solution 8:
Solve this equation
graphically.
Problem 9:
Solve
for the exact value(s) of t in 
.
Solution 9:
Solve this equation graphically.
Problem 10:
Solve
for the exact value(s) of t 
.
Solution 10:
Solve this equation
graphically.
Problem 11:
Why
is the inequality 
a false statement?
Solution 11:
It
is always positive.
Problem 12:
What
is the domain of the function 
? Why doesn’t 
exist?
Solution 12:
The
domain is the set of real number x, where 
. The critical values
are those values of x where 
. The critical values
divide the number line into subintervals, and the solution is one or more of
these intervals.
are
the critical values
The
test intervals are 
.
-1
is in the first interval and 
. Therefore all the
real numbers in the first interval is a set of solutions.
0
is in the second interval and 
which is not greater
than 0. Therefore no number in the
second interval is a solution.
10
is in the third interval and 
. Therefore all the
real numbers in the third interval is also a set of solutions.
The
solution set is the set of real numbers in the interval 
and all the real numbers
in the interval 
.
Problem 13:
Solve 
.
Solution 13:
The
value of a fraction equals zero when the numerator equals zero. The solution is 
.
Problem 14:
Add
the following fractions and simplify.
Solution 14:
Problems:
Problem 1. Problem # 3 in
Section 7.3
Solution 1:
Problem 2. Problem # 13 in
Section 7.3
Solution 2:
The graphs of the
left and right side are the not the same, therefore this equation is not an
identity.
The solutions are 0 and 8.
Problem 3. Problem # 15 in
Section 7.3
Solution 3:
is
not an identity.
Problem 4. Problem # 18 in
Section 7.3
Solution 4:
is
an identity.
