Show all your work for full credit! Problem 1 (10 points) i)
Use the natural logarithm to eliminate the quotients and exponents in the following equation: 3 x 12 x 3 y 1 7 x 2 x 3 3 4

Solve the following equation for x : 1
log 3 ( x 4 ) log 3 ( x 3 ) 2 log 3 ( x 2 ) 5 Problem 2 (10 points) Definition: A real-valued function f (x) is a one-to-one function if and only for any two values x1 , x2 in the domain, the following is true: f ( x1 ) f ( x2 ) x1 x2 i)
Show that f ( x) x 3 is a one-to-one function.
ii)
True or False? All one-to-one functions are invertible (i.e. their inverses are also functions). If true, justify your answer with an informal (or formal!) argument. If false, provide a counterexample.
Problem 3 (20 points) i)
Determine the general solution for the doubling time x D and the half-life xH for the function
y y 0 a x . Comment on the restrictions on a in each case. ii)
Determine the general solution for the doubling time x D and the half-life xH for the function
y y0 e kx . iii)
The half-life of radium-226 is 1620 years. Write a formula for the quantity, Q , left after t years, if the initial quantity is Q0 .
iv)
What percentage of the original amount of radium is left after 500 years?
Problem 4 (10 points) True of False? Briefly justify your answer in each case. No formal proofs are required. 1
i)
If f (x) is strictly increasing, then f
( x) is also strictly increasing.
ii)
If a function is odd, then it does not have an inverse function.
iii)
The function f ( x) | sin x | is even.
A mathematician's reputation rests on the number of bad proofs he has given. Besicovitch, A.S.

iv)
If f (x) is strictly increasing and g(x) is strictly increasing, then f ( x) g( x) is decreasing for all x values.
v)
If f (x) is strictly increasing and g(x) is strictly increasing, then f ( x) g ( x) is decreasing for all x values.
vi)
If f (x) is strictly increasing and g(x) is strictly increasing, then f ( x) g ( x) is decreasing for all x values.
vii)
If f (x) is strictly increasing and g(x) is strictly increasing, then f g (x) is increasing for all x values.
viii)
If g(x) is an even function, then f ( g ( x)) is decreasing always even.
ix)
The inverse of y log x is given by y
x)
An exponential function can be decreasing.
