Real Questions You'll See: Question: A radioactive substance decays with half-life 5730 years. If 40% of the original amount remains, how old is the substance? ️ Answer: 7560 years (Using t = 5730·ln(0.4)/ln(0.5) ≈ 7575, closest to 7560) Question: Solve for x: log₂(x-1) + log₂(x+1) = 3. ️ Answer: x = 3 (Domain requires x 1, so x = -3 is extraneous) Question: The functions f and g are differentiable for all real numbers, with f(g(x)) = x for all x in the domain of g. If f'(2) = 3 and g(1) = 2, what is g'(1)? ️ Answer: 1/3 (By the chain rule, f'(g(x))·g'(x) = 1, so 3·g'(1) = 1) Question: Scores on a standardized test are normally distributed with mean 500 and standard deviation 100. What is the minimum score needed to be in the top 5%? (z₀.₀₅ = 1.645) ️ Answer: 664.5 (X = μ + zσ = 500 + 1.645 × 100) Question: Evaluate the definite integral ∫₀^π x cos(x) dx. ️ Answer: -2 (Integration by parts: [x sin x + cos x]₀^π = -2) Who This Is For: - You, if you're taking MAT 101 or a college mathematics course - You, if Graded Exam 3 is coming up and you're stressed - You, if you want to boost your grade by learning from real tutor feedback - You, if you want to understand the *why* behind every answer Stop guessing.

,Question 1 of 47
Let f(x) = sqrt(x-2) and g(x) = x^2 - 3. Find the domain of (fg)(x).
A. (-, )
B. (-, -5] [5, )
C. (-, -2] [2, )
D. [2, )


The correct answer is:
Correct Action: (-, -5] [5, )

Rationales
• (-, -5] [5, ) (Correct):
This is the correct action. The composition (fg)(x) = sqrt((x^2-3)-2) = sqrt(x^2-5). The argument of sqrt must be 0, so
x^2-5 0 -> |x| 5. Thus the domain is (-, -5] [5, ). Option A is incorrect because the domain is not all reals; C and D are
miscalculations. The correct choice is B.
• (-, ) (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. The argument of sqrt must be 0, so x^2-5 0 -> |x| 5. Thus the domain is (-, -5] [5, )
• (-, -2] [2, ) (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. The argument of sqrt must be 0, so x^2-5 0 -> |x| 5. Thus the domain is (-, -5] [5, )
• [2, ) (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. The argument of sqrt must be 0, so x^2-5 0 -> |x| 5. Thus the domain is (-, -5] [5, )

,Question 2 of 47
If f(x) = 2x/(x-3), find f^{-1}(x).
A. 3x/(x-2)
B. 2x/(x+3)
C. 3x/(2-x)
D. 2x/(x-3)


The correct answer is:
Correct Action: 3x/(2-x)

Rationales
• 3x/(2-x) (Correct):
This is the correct action. Set y = 2x/(x-3). Swap x and y: x = 2y/(y-3). Solve for y: x(y-3)=2y -> xy-3x=2y -> xy-2y=3x ->
y(x-2)=3x -> y=3x/(x-2). But note that the inverse function's expression is 3x/(x-2). However, recheck: Actually, correct
manipulation leads to y = 3x/(x-2). But option A is 3x/(x-2). Wait, I need to ensure correct inverse. Let's recompute: x =
• 3x/(x-2) (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Swap x and y: x = 2y/(y-3). Solve for y: x(y-3)=2y -> xy-3x=2y -> xy-2y=3x -> y(x-2)=3x
-> y=3x/(x-2)
• 2x/(x+3) (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Swap x and y: x = 2y/(y-3). Solve for y: x(y-3)=2y -> xy-3x=2y -> xy-2y=3x -> y(x-2)=3x
-> y=3x/(x-2)
• 2x/(x-3) (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Swap x and y: x = 2y/(y-3). Solve for y: x(y-3)=2y -> xy-3x=2y -> xy-2y=3x -> y(x-2)=3x
-> y=3x/(x-2)

, Question 3 of 47
A radioactive substance decays with half-life 5730 years. If 40% of the original amount remains, how
old is the substance? (Use ln and round to nearest 100 years.)
A. 7560 years
B. 3780 years
C. 10800 years
D. 14300 years


The correct answer is:
Correct Action: 7560 years

Rationales
• 7560 years (Correct):
This is the correct action. Use decay model: N = N0(1/2)^(t/5730). Given N/N0 = 0.4, so 0.4 = (1/2)^(t/5730). Take ln:
ln(0.4) = (t/5730) ln(0.5) -> t = 5730 ln(0.4)/ln(0.5). Compute: ln(0.4) -0.9163, ln(0.5) -0.6931, ratio 1.322, times 5730
7575, closest to 7560. Other options are miscalculations: B uses half-life incorrectly; C uses 40% as 60% remaining; D uses
• 3780 years (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Given N/N0 = 0.4, so 0
• 10800 years (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Given N/N0 = 0.4, so 0
• 14300 years (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Given N/N0 = 0.4, so 0
