Problem Set 1 - Solutions to Q2 - Q5

2. Give an example of a function that has domain equal to (, 2) (2, 3) (3, ). Solution: f (x) = this question.
1 (x2)(x3) .

Note: there are innitely many other correct solutions to

3. Give an example of a function that only has one value in its range. Solution: question. f (x) = 2x. Note: there are innitely many other correct solutions to this

4. Give an example of an odd periodic function and an even periodic function. Solution: sin(x) = sin(x), so the sin-function is odd. cos(x) = cos(x), so the cosfunction is even. Also, sin(x + 2 ) = sin(x + 2 ) and cos(x + 2 ) = cos(x + 2 ). Therefore both functions are periodic. Note: there are innitely many other solutions to this question. 5. How many angles are there such that sin() = 0.74? How many angles are there such that sin() = 1.74? Why? Solution: The y -coordinates of each point on the unit circle are equal to sin , where is the angle from the positive x-axis to the radius passing through that point. Sincere there are two points on the unit circle with y -coordinate equal to 0.74, there are two angles . Since the sin-function is periodic, there are innitely many angles with the same sin-value as these two angles . The y -coordinate of points on the unit circle are as small as 1, but not smaller and as big as 1, but not bigger. In other words, there is no angle with sin > 1.
