So, we’re being asked here to use as many of the properties as we can to reduce
this down into simpler logarithms. So, here is the work for this problem.

𝑦𝑦 = 𝑥𝑥 3 + 6
𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦𝑦 3 + 6
𝑥𝑥 − 6 = 𝑦𝑦 3

𝑦𝑦 = √𝑥𝑥 − 6
3
𝑅𝑅 −1 (𝑥𝑥) = √𝑥𝑥 − 6
Finally, compute either ( 𝑅𝑅 ∘ 𝑅𝑅−1 ) ( 𝑥𝑥 ) 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 ( 𝑅𝑅−1 ∘ 𝑅𝑅 ) ( 𝑥𝑥 ) to verify our
work.
( 𝑅𝑅−1 ∘ 𝑅𝑅 )( 𝑥𝑥 ) = 𝑅𝑅−1 [𝑅𝑅(𝑥𝑥)]

So, we got x out of the composition and so we know we’ve done our work
correctly.

6- Find the equation of the line through (− 7,2) and is parallel to the line
3 𝑥𝑥 − 14 𝑦𝑦 = 4
Solution/
first, we need to get the slope of our new line, i.e. the line through the point (−
7 , 2 ) . We know this line is parallel to the line 3 x − 14 y = 4 and so must have
the same slope as the second line. Therefore, all we need to do is put the
equation of the second line into slope-intercept form and get its slope.

Calculus I Civil Engineering

to do this problem we need to complete the square on the x and y terms. To


help with this we’ll first get the number on the right side and group the x and y
terms as follows. 𝑥𝑥 2 + 14 𝑥𝑥 + 𝑦𝑦 2 − 8 𝑦𝑦 = − 56
𝑥𝑥 2 + 14𝑥𝑥 + 49 + 𝑦𝑦 2 − 8𝑦𝑦 + 16 = −56 + 49 + 16
(𝑥𝑥 + 7)2 + (𝑦𝑦 − 4)2 = 9
So, we have the equation in standard form and so we can quickly identify the
radius and center of the circle.

Radius : r=3 Center : (−7,4)

8- Determine the domain of the following function.


8𝑡𝑡 − 24
𝑔𝑔(𝑡𝑡) = 2
𝑡𝑡 − 7𝑡𝑡 − 18
For this problem, all we need to avoid is division by zero. We will get division
by zero at,
𝑡𝑡 2 − 7 𝑡𝑡 − 18 = 0 → ( 𝑡𝑡 − 9 )( 𝑡𝑡 + 2 ) = 0 → 𝑡𝑡 = − 2 , 𝑡𝑡 = 9
