Mathematics For Management CMS2-500 Fall 2018 Suggested Problems For Week 1

This document provides suggested problems from the textbook Mathematics for Management for week 1. It lists problems from pages 94, 105, and 106. It also notes a typographical error on page 105 where the natural logarithm is written as "In" instead of "ln". It then provides partial solutions for several of the listed problems to demonstrate the solution process.

Mathematics for Management

CMS2-500 Fall 2018


Suggested problems for week 1

Page 94: 29, 30, 33, 34, 35, 36

Page 105: 13, 16, 18, 19, 27, 28, 31, 32, 43, 44, 47, 48

Note: There is a typographical error on this page in problem 19 (and other


problems not listed here) where the natural logarithm is given as In, where the first
letter is a capital i. This is NOT how it should be written. It should be written ln,
where the first letter is a lower case L and N therefore “ln”.

PARTIAL SOLUTIONS

102−3x = 105x−6
2 − 3x = 5x − 6
−3x − 5x = −6 − 2
−8x = −8
x=1

Page 94, #33


53 = (x + 2)3
5=x+2
x=3

Page 94, #35


xe−x + 7e−x = 0
e−x (x + 7) = 0
Since e−x is nonzero no matter what x is, we can divide both sides by e−x .
x+7=0
x = −7

3log3 x = 32
x=9

PARTIAL SOLUTIONS

logb x = logb 8 + logb 9 − logb 6
2 1
3 2
logb x = logb 82�3 + logb 91�2 − logb 6
logb x = logb 4 + logb 3 − logb 6
logb x = logb 4 ⋅ 3 − logb 6
4⋅3
logb x = logb
6
logb x = logb 2
x=2

Page 105, #47


logb x + logb (x − 4) = logb 21
logb [x(x − 4)] = logb 21
x(x − 4) = 21
x2 − 4x − 21 = 0
(x + 3)(x − 7) = 0
So there are two tentative solutions, x = −3 and x = 7. But if you try to plug in x = −3
into the original equation, logb (−3) is not defined, so this is not a solution. When you
plug in x = 7 into the original equation, no such problems arise, so x = 7 is the unique
solution.

1.00512t = 3
log10 1.00512t = log10 3
12t ⋅ log10 1.005 = log10 3
t=
log10 3
12 ⋅ log10 1.005
At this point we plug this expression into our calculator and get t = 18.3559.
