51. No, because sin 0 = 0
52. No, because ππ₯β 1 = 0 at π₯ = 0.

β in a window such as β0.5 β€ β β€ 0.5 and 0 β€ π¦ β€ 1.5 appears to indicate π¦ β 1.1 as β β 0. By zooming in on the graph, we can estimate the limit more accurately. Therefore, we estimate that

56. A graph of π¦ = sin(3β)
β in a window such as β0.5 β€ β β€ 0.5 and 0 β€ π¦ β€ 4 appears to indicate π¦ β 3 as β β 0.
Therefore, we estimate that

57. (a) Substituting π₯-values into π(π₯) gives:
π₯ 0.9 0.99 1.01 1.1
π(π₯) 1.054 1.005 0.995 0.953
(b) Since the values ofπ(π₯) appear to get closer and closer to 1 as π₯ gets closer and closer to 1, we estimate limπ₯β1
ln π₯ π₯ β 1 = 1.
Notice thatπ(π₯) = ln π₯
π₯ β 1 is undeο¬ned atπ₯ = 1.
58. (a) Substituting π₯-values into π(π₯) gives:
π₯ 0.9 0.99 1.01 1.1
π(π₯) 1.949 1.995 2.005 2.049
(b) Since the values ofπ(π₯) appear to get closer and closer to 2 as π₯ gets closer and closer to 1, we estimate limπ₯β1
π₯ β 1
βπ₯ β 1 = 2.
Notice thatπ(π₯) = π₯β 1
βπ₯ β 1is undeο¬ned atπ₯ = 1.
59. Since the value of π₯2increases faster than the value of lnπ₯, we know that lim
π₯ββ
ln π₯
π₯2 approaches zero asπ₯ β β.
Thus, lim
π₯ββ
ln π₯ π₯2 = 0.
60. Since the value of ππ₯β 2 grows arbitrarily large as π₯ β β while the numerator remains constant, the value of the function approaches zero.
Thus, lim
π₯ββ
2 ππ₯β 2= 0.
61. For large values of π₯, β5π₯2+ 2 behaves like β5π₯2and 3π₯2behaves like 3π₯2, so (β5π₯2+ 2)β(3π₯2) behaves like β5π₯2β3π₯2. Thus
π₯ββlim

3 . 62. Possible answers are π(π₯) = π₯ + 4 and π(π₯) = 5π₯β5π₯β1 though answers will vary.
63. Possible answers are π(π₯) =12 +1
π₯andπ(π₯) =2π₯π₯22+3though answers will vary.
64. (a) When π₯ < 2, π(π₯) = π₯2β π₯. So as π₯ approaches 2 from the left, π(π₯) approaches 22β 2 = 2. So
π₯β2limβπ(π₯) = 2.
(b) Whenπ₯ > 2, π(π₯) = 4βπ₯. So as π₯ approaches 2 from the right, π(π₯) approaches 4β2 = 2. So
π₯β2lim+π(π₯) = 2.
(c) Asπ₯ approaches 2 from either side, π(π₯) approaches 2. Therefore, limπ₯β2π(π₯) = 2.
(d) Forπ₯ > 2, π(π₯) = 4βπ₯. As π₯ approaches 3 from the left, π₯ is greater than 2, so π(π₯) approaches 4β3. Thus
π₯β3limβπ(π₯) = 4 3 .
65. (a) For π₯ < 2, we have π(π₯) = 3π₯ β 5, so as π₯ approaches 2 from the left, we have
π₯β2limβπ(π₯) = 3(2) β 5 = 1.
(b) Forπ₯ > 2, we have π(π₯) = 3 β 2π₯, so as π₯ approaches 2 from the right, we have
π₯β2lim+π(π₯) = 3 β 2(2) = β1.
(c) The one-sided limits lim
π₯β2βπ(π₯) and lim
π₯β2+π(π₯) do not agree. Therefore, the limit lim
π₯β2π(π₯) does not exist, since π(π₯) does not approach a single value asπ₯ approaches 2 from both sides.
(d) If we are looking at the behavior ofπ(π₯) close to π₯ = 0, then we are looking at values of π(π₯) for π₯ β€ 2. So for values ofπ₯ near zero, π(π₯) = 3π₯ β 5. As π₯ approaches zero, π(π₯) approaches 3(0) β 5 = β5. Therefore,
limπ₯β0π(π₯) = β5.
66. (a) When π₯ < 0, π(π₯) = π₯ + 3. So as π₯ approaches 0 from the left, π(π₯) approaches 0 + 3 = 3. Thus
π₯β0limβπ(π₯) = 3.
(b) Whenπ₯ > 0, π(π₯) = π₯3+ 1. So as π₯ approaches 0 from the right, π(π₯) approaches 03+ 1 = 1. Thus
π₯β0lim+π(π₯) = 1.
(c) The left-hand and right-hand limits ofπ(π₯) at π₯ = 0 do not agree. Therefore, lim
π₯β0π(π₯) does not exist, since there is no single value thatπ(π₯) approaches as π₯ approaches 0 from both sides.
(d) No matter what the value ofπ‘ is, π‘2β₯ 0. So for all π‘, π(π‘2) = (π‘2)3+ 1 = π‘6+ 1. So as π‘ approaches 0 from either side,
72. Evaluating the expression at β = 0, we arrive at 0β0. Rewriting the expression using algebra gives limββ0
(4 + β)2β 42
β = lim

(16 + 8β + β2) β 16 β

ββ0
8β + β2 β

ββ0
β(8 + β) β
and sinceβ β 0, canceling the common factor of β, we have

ββ0(8 + β)
= 8.
PROBLEMS
73. (a) More fertilizer increases the yield until about 40 lbs.; then it is too much and ruins crops, lowering yield.
(b) The vertical intercept is atπ = 200. If there is no fertilizer, then the yield is 200 bushels.
(c) The horizontal intercept is atπ = 80. If you use 80 lbs. of fertilizer, then you will grow no apples at all.
(d) The range is the set of values ofπ attainable over the domain 0 β€ π β€ 80. Looking at the graph, we can see that π goes as high as 550 and as low as 0. So the range is 0β€ π β€ 550.
(e) Looking at the graph, we can see thatπ is decreasing near π = 60.
(f) Looking at the graph, we can see thatπ is concave down everywhere, so it is certainly concave down near π = 40.
74. (a) Given the two points (0, 32) and (100, 212), and assuming the graph in Figure 1.148 is a line, Slope =212 β 32

(b) Theβ¦F-intercept is (0, 32), so
β¦F = 1.8(β¦C) + 32. (c) If the temperature is 20β¦Celsius, then
β¦F = 1.8(20) + 32 = 68β¦F. (d) Ifβ¦F =β¦C, then
β¦C = 1.8β¦C + 32
β32 = 0.8β¦C
β¦C = β40β¦=β¦F. 75. (a) We have the following functions.
(i) Since a change inπ of $5 results in a decrease in π of 2, the slope of π = π·(π) is β2β5 items per dollar. So π = π β2
5 π.
Now we know that whenπ = 550 we have π = 100, so 100 = π β2
5 β 550 100 = π β 220
π = 320.
Thus a formula is
π = 320 β2 5 π.
(ii) We can solveπ = 320 β25π for π in terms of π:
5π = 1600 β 2π 2π = 1600 β 5π π = 800 β5
2 π.
The slope of this function is β5β2 dollars per item, as we would expect.

77. (a) (i) If the atoms are moved farther apart, then π > π so, from the graph, πΉ is negative, indicating an attractive force, which pulls the atoms back together.
(ii) If the atoms are moved closer together, thenπ < π so, from the graph, πΉ is positive, indicating an attractive force, which pushes the atoms apart again.
(b) Atπ = π, the force is zero. The answer to part (a)(i) tells us that if the atoms are pulled apart slightly, so π > π, the force tends to pull them back together; the answer to part (a)(ii) tells us that if the atoms are pushed together, soπ < π, the force tends to push them back apart. Thus,π = π is a stable equilibrium.
78. If the pressure at sea level is π0, the pressureπ at altitude β is given by π = π0
(1 β 0.4 100
)ββ100
,
since we want the pressure to be multiplied by a factor of (1 β 0.4β100) = 0.996 for each 100 feet we go up to make it decrease by 0.4% over that interval. At Mexico Cityβ = 7340, so the pressure is
π = π0(0.996)7340β100β 0.745π0. So the pressure is reduced fromπ0to approximately 0.745π0, a decrease of 25.5%.
79. Assuming the population of Ukraine is declining exponentially, we have population π (π‘) = 46.01πππ‘at timeπ‘ years after 2010. Using the 2014 population, we have
45.43 = 46.01πβπβ 4 π = β1
4ln( 45.43 46.01
)= 0.00317.
We want to ο¬nd the timeπ‘ at which
44 = 46.01πβ0.00317π‘ π‘ = βln(44β46.01)
0.00317 = 14.09 years.
This model predicts the population to go below 44 million 14.09 years after 2010, in the year 2024.
80. (a) We compound the daily inο¬ation rate 30 times to get the desired monthly rate π:
(1 + π 100
)1
=( 1 + 0.67
100 )30
= 1.2218.
Solving forπ, we get π = 22.18, so the inο¬ation rate for April was 22.18%.
(b) We compound the daily inο¬ation rate 365 times to get a yearly rateπ for 2006:
(1 + π 100
)1
=( 1 + 0.67
100 )365
= 11.4426.
Solving forπ , we get π = 1044.26, so the yearly rate was 1044.26% during 2006. We could have obtained approxi-mately the same result by compounding the monthly rate 12 times. Computing the annual rate from the monthly gives a lower result, because 12 months of 30 days each is only 360 days.
81. (a) The US consumption of hydroelectric power increased by at least 20% in 2011 and decreased by at least 10% in 2012, relative to each corresponding previous year. .
(b) False. In 2012 hydroelectric power consumption increased only by 22.1% over consumption in 2011.
(c) True. From 2011 to 2012 consumption decreased by 15.2%, which means π₯(1 β 0.152) units of hydroelectric power were consumed in 2012 ifπ₯ had been consumed in 2011. Similarly,
(π₯(1 β 0.152)(1 β 0.025)
units of hydroelectric power were consumed in 2013 ifπ₯ had been consumed in 2012, and (π₯(1 β 0.152)(1 β 0.025)(1 β 0.036)
units of hydroelectric power were consumed in 2014 ifπ₯ had been consumed in 2013. Since π₯(1 β 0.152)(1 β 0.025)(1 β 0.036) = π₯(0.797) = π₯(1 β 0.203),
the percent growth in hydroelectric power consumption was β20.3%, in 2014 relative to consumption in 2011. This amounts to about 20% decrease in hydroelectric power consumption from 2011 to 2014.
82. (a) For each 2.2 pounds of weight the object has, it has 1 kilogram of mass, so the conversion formula is π = π(π) = 1
2.2π.
(b) The inverse function is
π = 2.2π,
and it gives the weight of an object in pounds as a function of its mass in kilograms.
83. Since π(π₯) is a parabola that opens upward, we have π(π₯) = ππ₯2+ ππ₯ + π with π > 0. Since π(π₯) is a line with negative slope,π(π₯) = π + ππ₯, with slope π < 0. Therefore
π(π(π₯)) = π + π(ππ₯2+ ππ₯ + π) = πππ₯2+ πππ₯ + ππ + π.
The coeο¬cient ofπ₯2isππ, which is negative. Thus, the graph is a parabola opening downward.
84. (a) is π(π₯) since it is linear. (b) is π(π₯) since it has decreasing slope; the slope starts out about 1 and then decreases to about
1
10. (c) isβ(π₯) since it has increasing slope; the slope starts out about101 and then increases to about 1.
85. Given the doubling time of 2 hours, 200 = 100ππ(2), we can solve for the growth rateπ using the equation:
2π0= π0π2π ln 2 = 2π
π =ln 2 2 . Using the growth rate, we wish to solve for the timeπ‘ in the formula
π = 100πln 22π‘ whereπ = 3,200, so
3,200 = 100πln 22π‘ π‘ = 10 hours.
86. (a) The π¦-intercept of π(π₯) = π ln(π₯ + 2) is π(0) = π ln 2. Since ln 2 is positive, increasing π increases the π¦-intercept.
(b) Theπ₯-intercept of π(π₯) = π ln(π₯ + 2) is where π(π₯) = 0. Since this occurs where π₯ + 2 = 1, so π₯ = β1, increasing π does not aο¬ect theπ₯-intercept.
87. Since the factor by which the prices have increased after time π‘ is given by (1.05)π‘, the time after which the prices have doubled solves
2 = (1.05)π‘
log 2 = log(1.05π‘) = π‘ log(1.05) π‘ = log 2
log 1.05 β 14.21 years.
88. Using the exponential decay equation π = π0πβππ‘, we can solve for the substanceβs decay constantπ:
(π0β 0.3π0) = π0πβ20π π =ln(0.7)
β20 . Knowing this decay constant, we can solve for the half-lifeπ‘ using the formula
0.5π0= π0πln(0.7)π‘β20
π‘ = 20 ln(0.5)
ln(0.7) β 38.87 hours.
89. (a) We know the decay follows the equation
π = π0πβππ‘,
and that 10% of the pollution is removed after 5 hours (meaning that 90% is left). Therefore, 0.90π0 = π0πβ5π
π = β1 5ln(0.90).
Thus, after 10 hours:
π = π0πβ10((β0.2) ln 0.90)
π = π0(0.9)2= 0.81π0
so 81% of the original amount is left.
(b) We want to solve for the time whenπ = 0.50π0:
0.50π0= π0ππ‘((0.2) ln 0.90)
0.50 = πln(0.900.2π‘) 0.50 = 0.900.2π‘
π‘ = 5 ln(0.50)
ln(0.90) β 32.9 hours.

(d) When highly polluted air is ο¬ltered, there is more pollutant per liter of air to remove. If a ο¬xed amount of air is cleaned every day, there is a higher amount of pollutant removed earlier in the process.
