Answer

To solve the differential equation rac{dy}{dx} = e^{x+y} we can separate the variables:

eydy=exdxe^{-y}dy = e^{x}dx.

Integrating both sides: eydy=exdx\int e^{-y} dy = \int e^{x} dx which gives us ey=ex+C-e^{-y} = e^{x} + C or ey=exCe^{-y} = -e^{x} - C.

We rewrite this as: y=ln(exC).y = -ln(-e^{x} - C).

To ensure the function passes through the origin (0,0): We set: 0=ln(C)0 = -ln(-C) which implies that C=1C = -1.

Thus the specific solution can be written as: y=ln(ex+1).y = -ln(-e^{x} + 1).

Now, to determine the domain: For the logarithm to be defined,

ightarrow e^{x} < 1 ightarrow x < 0.$$ So the domain is: $$(-\infty, 0).$$ For the range, as x approaches 0, y approaches infinity, while for x approaching -infinity, y approaches negative infinity. Hence, the range is: $$(-\infty, \infty).$$

Step 2

For what values of the constant k would the function f(x) = kx/(1+x^2) + arctan(x) have an inverse?

Answer

The function f(x) is defined as: f(x)=kx1+x2+arctan(x).f(x) = \frac{kx}{1+x^2} + arctan(x). To have an inverse, f(x) must be either strictly increasing or strictly decreasing.

Finding f'(x) for the monotonicity:

f(x)=k(1+x2)kx(2x)(1+x2)2+11+x2=k(1x2)+1(1+x2)2f'(x) = \frac{k(1+x^2) - kx(2x)}{(1+x^2)^2} + \frac{1}{1+x^2} = \frac{k(1-x^2) + 1}{(1+x^2)^2}.

Setting f'(x) = 0: This expression has to maintain the same sign for all x. Case 1: If (k > 0), then (1 - x^2 \geq 0) implies ( -1 < x < 1). To maintain monotonicity for all x, we need (k \leq 1). Case 2: If (k < 0), then (1 - x^2 \leq 0) implies no valid x. Thus, k must satisfy (-1 \leq k \leq 1) for f(x) to have an inverse.

Step 3

Explain why the equation tan^{-1}(3x) + tan^{-1}(10x) = θ, where -π < θ < π, has exactly one solution.

Answer

The function tan^{-1}(x) is strictly increasing and continuous. Therefore, the sum of two such functions, tan^{-1}(3x) + tan^{-1}(10x), will also be strictly increasing. Since the range of a strictly increasing function is the entire real line, there will be exactly one intersection point with any horizontal line, confirming that the equation tan^{-1}(3x) + tan^{-1}(10x) = θ has exactly one solution, for -π < θ < π.

Step 4

Solve tan^{-1}(3x) + tan^{-1}(10x) = 3π/4.

Answer

To solve this equation, we can use the identity for the sum of arctangents:

tan(a+b)=tan(a)+tan(b)1tan(a)tan(b)tan(a + b) = \frac{tan(a) + tan(b)}{1 - tan(a)tan(b)}.

Setting: a=tan1(3x),b=tan1(10x)a = tan^{-1}(3x), b = tan^{-1}(10x) Thus: tan(3π/4)=1tan(3π/4) = -1. Substituting:

ightarrow -1 + 30x^2 = 13x$$. Rearranging gives: $$30x^2 - 13x - 1 = 0$$. Using the quadratic formula: discriminant: D = b^2 - 4ac = (-13)^2 - 4*30*(-1) = 169 + 120 = 289\ roots: x = \frac{13 \pm 17}{60} \rightarrow x = \frac{30}{60} = 0.5 \text{ or } x = \frac{-4}{60} = -\frac{1}{15}.$$ The only solution is x = \frac{1}{2}.

Step 5

Show that for 0 < sin(θ) < (√(8/9)), the distance, D(t), is increasing for all t > 0.

Answer

We have the distance: D(t)=r(t)=(Vcosθt)2+[Vsinθtgt22]2D(t) = |r(t)| = \sqrt{(Vcosθt)^2 + [Vsinθt - \frac{gt^2}{2}]^2}. To show that D(t) is increasing, we need to show that dDdt>0.\frac{dD}{dt} > 0. Using the derivatives, dDdt=1Ddr(t)dt,\frac{dD}{dt} = \frac{1}{D} \frac{d|r(t)|}{dt}, we find dr(t)dt\frac{d|r(t)|}{dt} where the signs of the terms depend on θ: dr(t)dt>0    0<Vsin(θ)gt2<Vsin(θ). \frac{d|r(t)|}{dt} > 0 \implies 0 < Vsin(θ) - \frac{gt}{2} < Vsin(θ). Thus confirming that D(t) is increasing when (0 < sin(θ) < (\sqrt{8/9}).$$
