Problem Set 02

27 Tell whether each of the following is true or false.

22
a) -3 < -7 b) -1 > -17 c) -3 < -
7

Answer :
 a) -3 < -7 is FALSE. The fact is that -7 is less than -3, which means the
statement is FALSE.
b) -1 > -17 is TRUE. On the real line, it shows that -17 is on the left of -1
which means the statement is TRUE.
c) -3 < -22/7 is FALSE. -22/7 = -3,142857... which is less than -3, that’s
why the statement is FALSE.

Problem Set 03

41 Write the equation for the line through (-2, -1) that is perpendicular to
the line y+3 = -2/3 (x-5)

Answer :

Perpendicular lines : m1. m2 = -1 ; m1 = -2/3

2
− . m2 = -1
3

m2 =
𝟐

the 2nd line is through (-2, -1), thus :

𝑦 − 𝑦1 = 𝑚2 (𝑥 − 𝑥1)

Problem Set 04

8 Plot the graph of this equation.

Y = -x2 – 2x +2

Answer :
First, find the intersection of the x-axis from the equation by using Quadratic
Formula.

−𝑏 ± √𝑏 2 − 4𝑎𝑐
𝑥1,2 =
2𝑎

2 ± √(−2)2 − 4(−1)(2)
𝑥1,2 =
2(−1)

𝒙𝟏 = −𝟏 − √𝟑 𝒅𝒂𝒏 𝒙𝟐 = −𝟏 + √𝟑

Then, find the intersection of the y-axis from the equation, which happens when
x = 0.

Y = -(0)2 – 2(0) +2 = 2

Then plot the graph.
