MATH 2301-100 Spring 2022 Calculus I Recitation 1 Week 1

Work in a group of at most 4. Explain to those who do not understand. Ask questions if you do not understand.

  1. (25 points)
    1. Write the equation of the line with slope 2 that passes through the point \((1,-7)\).
    2. Solve the equation \(|2x+1|=3\).
    3. Solve the inequality \(|x^2-9| \ge 6\).
  2. (15 points) Given \(p(x) = x^3 +6x^2-9x-14\),
    1. Completely factor \(p(x)\), using the fact that \(p(2)=0\) to help you.
    2. Sketch a graph of \(p(x)\) and label the points where the graph intersects the \(x\)-axis and the \(y\)-axis.
  3. (10 points) Simplify \[\frac{5(x+h)+(x+h)^2-(5x+x^2)}{h} \,.\]
  4. (20 points)
    1. Solve the inequality \( e^{7x-8} \ge 2\) and express your answer in interval notation.
    2. Solve the equation \(\log_6(x+4)+\log_6(3-x)=1\) and express your answer in set notation.
  5. (15 points) Given that \(\csc(\theta) = 11\) with \(\theta\) in the second quadrant, find the exact values of all six trigonometric functions evaluated at \(\theta\):
    1. \(\sin(\theta)=\)
    2. \(\cos(\theta)=\)
    3. \(\sec(\theta)=\)
    4. \(\csc(\theta)=11\)
    5. \(\tan(\theta)=\)
    6. \(\cot(\theta)=\)
  6. (15 points) A superhero, standing on the ground, launches 50 feet of wire from a grappling gun, held at an angle of elevation of \(\pi/3\) radians. The grapple hits and catches the top edge of the building.
    1. How tall is the building?
    2. How far from the base of the building is the superhero standing?
