 There are 9 problems on this 90-minute exam, so you should spend about 10 minutes per
problem. You are also allowed 30 minutes of optional extra time.
 Each problem will be scored using the established 0-to-5 scoring scale which values
communicating clearly, showing your steps, and justifying your answers.
 Numerical answers may be rounded to three decimal places.
 If you use your calculator for a significant step, indicate what you did on the calculator.

1. a. One of the function symmetry concepts we studied is that of an even function.

Explain: what is an even function?
(Only one meaning is required for full credit, but if you discuss both algebraically and
graphically, you will have more options for how to respond to part b.)

b. Using a meaning that you stated in part a, give evidence that supports this statement:
“The function f(x) = csc(x) is not an even function.”

2a. At a movie theater, two families paid these prices for their tickets. Using a MATRIX method,
but NOT using RREF on your calculator, find the ticket prices for adults and children.
Remember to identify each row operation used and write the matrix you get after each step.
$50.00 for 2 adults and 3 children
$46.25 for 1 adult and 4 children

2b. Here are amounts that were charged to three families for tickets for at another movie
theater. All the tickets were purchased at the same time for the same movie.
$37.75 for 2 adults and 3 children
$33.75 for 1 adult and 4 children
$35.80 for 2 adults and 2 children
Is it possible that all three families were charged the correct amount of money? Explain
your answer using a MATRIX method. You may use RREF on your calculator.

[LN] (natural log) key. Write an expression that could be typed into this calculator
to get the value of f(5).

f (25)
c. Without using any calculator, find the exact value of . Show your steps.
f (5)

8. There are 50 apple trees in an orchard. Each tree produces 800 apples.
The apple farmer wants to add more trees to the orchard. However, for each additional tree
planted in the orchard, the output per tree would decrease by 5 apples.
a. Write a function formula that models the total apple production of the orchard.
Show or tell how you get your formula.

b. How many trees should be added to the orchard in order to maximize the total number of
apples output by the trees? Show or tell how you get your answer.
