Problem 1

Step 1.

Let’s take a look at the equation 3x-4y+1=0. We need to bring it to the form y=m\ast x+b.

3x-4y+1=0

3x+1=4y

\frac{3x+1}{4}=y

y=\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{1}{4}

Step 2.

Slopes of perpendicular lines are negative intercepts of each other (e.g. \frac{2}{3} and -\frac{3}{2}, \frac{4}{7} and -\frac{7}{4}, etc.). Hence, the slope of the perpendicular line is -\frac{4}{3}.

The answer is A.

Problem 2

Step 1.

Let’s first find the expression for f(x+h):

f(x+h)=

11\left(x+h\right)^2=

11\left(x+h\right)\ast\left(x+h\right)=

11\left(x^2+2xh+h^2\right)=

11x^2+22xh+11h^2

Step 2.

Let’s now plug f(x+h) in the formula of the difference quotient:

\frac{f\left(x+h\right)-f\left(x\right)}{h}=

\frac{11x^2+22xh+11h^2-11x^2}{h}=

\frac{22xh+11h^2}{h}=

\frac{h(22x+11h)}{h}=22x+11h

The answer is C.

Problem 3

Step 1.

For a quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c, the highest or lowest point occurs at its x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2a}.

For a given expression y=x^2-10x+13,

a=1

b=-10

c=13

x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{-10}{2\ast1}=-\frac{-10}{2}=-\left(-5\right)=5

Step 2.

To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, simply plug x_{vertex} into the equation.

y\left(5\right)=

\left(5\right)^2-10\ast\left(5\right)+13=

25-50+13=-12

So the coordinates of the vertex is (5,-12). The answer is E.

Problem 4

Equation of a circle with radius R and origin (h,k) is \left(x-h\right)^2+\left(y-k\right)^2=R^2.

Step 1.

Rearrange the equation to move x and y terms together.

x^2+y^2+14x-2y=0

x^2+14x+y^2-2y=0

x^2+14x+__+y^2-2y+__=0

Step 2.

Find the coefficients to complete the square for x and y:

x^2+14x+\left(\frac{14}{2}\right)^2+y^2-2y+\left(\frac{2}{2}\right)^2=\left(\frac{14}{2}\right)^2+\left(\frac{2}{2}\right)^2

x^2+14x+49+y^2-2y+1=49+1

\left(x+7\right)^2+\left(y-1\right)^2=50

R^2=50 and R=\sqrt{50}

The answer is C.

Problem 5

Step 1.

Take a look at the highest exponent of the top and the bottom.

The highest exponent of the numerator x-7 is 1.

The highest exponent of the denominator x^2-49 is 2.

Since the exponent of denominator is higher, the horizontal asymptote is y=0. The answer is A.

Problem 6

Step 1.

The revenue function is

R\left(x\right)=x\ast demand

R\left(x\right)=x\left(100-2x\right)=100x-2x^2

Step 2.

To find the number of items that will maximize revenue, take the first derivative

R\prime(x)=100-4x

Step 3.

Set the denominator to 0 and solve for x

R^\prime\left(x\right)=100-4x=0

x=25

The answer is D.

Problem 7

Step 1.

Find the first derivative of f\left(x\right)=-4x^2+32x-10

f^\prime\left(x\right)=-8x+32

Step 2.

Set the first derivative to 0 and solve for x.

f^\prime\left(x\right)=-8x+32=0

x=4

Step 3.

Plug x=4 into the original function to find the y-coordinate

f\left(x\right)=-4\ast\left(4\right)^2+32\ast4-10=-64+128-10=54

The point is (4,54). The answer is A.

Problem 8

Step 1.

Find the first derivative of f\left(x\right)=\frac{x+1}{x} using quotient rule

f=x+1 and f\prime=1

g=x and g\prime=1

Plug values into the formula:

f^\prime\left(x\right)=\frac{f^\prime\ast g-f\ast g^\prime}{g^2}=

\frac{1\ast x-\left(x+1\right)\ast1}{x^2}=

\frac{x-(x+1)}{x^2}=\frac{-1}{x^2}

Step 2.

Plug in x=2 to find f\prime(2)

f^\prime\left(x\right)=\frac{-1}{x^2}

f^\prime\left(2\right)=\frac{-1}{2^2}=\frac{-1}{4}

The answer is D.

Problem 9

To find the equation of a line tangent, follow the 4-step process:

Step 1.

Find f^\prime\left(x\right) of y=x^3-x\

f^\prime\left(x\right)=3x^2-1

Step 2.

Find f^\prime\left(1\right)\

f^\prime\left(1\right)=3\ast\left(1\right)^2-1=3-1=2

Step 3.

Find f\left(1\right)\

f(1)=\left(1\right)^3-1=1-1=0

Step 4.

Find the equation of the tangent line by plugging into the following formula:

y=f^\prime\left(1\right)\ast\left(x-1\right)+f(1)\

y=2\left(x-1\right)+0

y=2x-2

Problem 10

In this problem we have to look at the multiple choice answers first. There are 3 points mentioned:

For x=0, the slope of the function would be negative. Therefore, f^\prime\left(0\right)<0 and option A is incorrect.

For x=-1, the slope of the function would be negative. Therefore, f^\prime\left(-1\right)<0 and option B is correct, while option C is wrong.

It is still a good idea to double check that other options do not apply.

For x=1, the slope of the function would also be negative. Therefore, f^\prime\left(1\right)<0 and option D is incorrect.

The right answer is B.
