1. To solve an equation is to find the solution set, that is, to find the set of all elements in the domain of the variable that make the equation true.
3. An equation is linear if it can be written, through simplification, in the form ax + b = 0, a ≠ 0.
5. To check a solution, substitute the value obtained into the original equation to see whether a true statement is obtained.
7. If an equation, like 2 2P w , contains more than one variable, it only makes sense to solve it if the variable to be solved for is specified.

47. The "solution" is incorrect. Although 3 is a solution of the two last equations, they are not equivalent to the first equation because both sides have been multiplied by x – 3, which is zero when x = 3. It is not permitted to multiply both sides of an equation by zero. When x = 3, the first equation involves division by zero. Since 3, the only possible solution, is not a solution, the given (first) equation has no solution.

65. Let x = sales of employee
Then x – 7,000 = sales on which 8% commission is paid 0.08(x – 7,000) = (rate of commission) (sales) = (amount of commission) 2,150 + 0.08(x – 7,000) = (base salary) + (amount of commission) = earnings Earnings = 3,170 2,150 + 0.08(x – 7,000) = 3,170 2,150 + 0.08x – 560 = 3,170 0.08x + 1,590 = 3,170 0.08x = 1,580

67. (A) We note: The temperature increased 2.5°C for each additional 100 meters of depth. Hence, the temperature increased 25 degrees for each additional kilometer of depth.
Let x = the depth (in kilometers), then x – 3 = the depth beyond 3 kilometers. 25(x – 3) = the temperature increase for x – 3 kilometers of depth. T = temperature at 3 kilometers + temperature increase. T = 30 + 25(x – 3)
(B) We are to find T when x = 12. We use the above relationship as a formula T = 30 + 25(12 – 3) = 255˚C
(C) We are to find x when T = 200. We use the above relationship as an equation. 200 = 30 + 25(x – 3) 200 = 30 + 25x – 75 200 = –45 + 25x 245 = 25x x = 9.8 kilometers

71. Let x = amount of distilled water 50 = amount of 30% solution
Then 50 + x = amount of 25% solution acid in 30% solution + acid in distilled water = acid in 25% solution
0.3(50) + 0 = 0.25(50 + x) 0.3(50) = 0.25(50 + x) 15 = 12.5 + 0.25x 2.5 = 0.25x x = 10 gallons
73. Let x = amount of 50% solution 5 = amount of distilled water Then x – 5 = amount of 90% solution acid in 90% solution + acid in distilled water = acid in 50% solution 0.9(x – 5) + 0 = 0.5x 0.9x – 4.5 = 0.5x –4.5 = –0.4x x = 11.25 liters
75. Let t = time for both computers to finish the job
Then t + 1 = time worked by old computer t = time worked by new computer Since the old computer can do 1 job in 5 hours, it works at a rate

5 job per hour
Similarly the new computer works at a rate of 1
3 job per hour.
Part of job completed by Part of job completed by old computer in + new computer in = 1 whole job. t + 1 hours t hours

77. Let d = distance flown north
(A) Using t = d
r, we note:
rate flying north = 150 – 30 = 120 miles per hour rate flying south = 150 + 30 = 180 miles per hour
time flying north + time flying south = 3 hours

1,000 = (3 – x) · (time upstream); time upstream = 1,000
3 x
1,200 = (3 + x) · (time downstream); time downstream = 1,200
3 x
The problem tells us that these two times are equal, so we set them equal to each other and solve.

85. If a < b, then by definition of <, there exists a positive number p such that a + p = b. Then, adding c to both sides, we obtain (a + c) + p = b + c, where p is positive. Hence, by definition of <, we have a + c < b + c
87. (A) If a < b, then by definition of <, there exists a positive number p such that a + p = b. If we multiply both sides of this by the positive number c, we obtain (a + p)c = bc, or ac + pc = bc, where pc is positive. Hence, by definition of <, we have ac < bc.
(B) If a < b, then by definition of <, there exists a positive number p such that a + p = b. If we multiply both sides of this by the negative number c, we obtain (a + p)c = bc, or ac + pc = bc, where pc is negative. Hence, by definition of <, we have ac > bc.

91. Let x = number of calculators sold
Then Revenue = (price per calculator) (number of calculators sold) = 63x Cost = fixed cost + variable cost = 650,000 + (Cost per calculator) (number sold) = 650,000 + 47x
(A) We want Revenue > Cost 63x > 650,000 + 47x 16x > 650,000 x > 40,625 More than 40,625 calculators must be sold for the company to make a profit.
(B) We want
Revenue = Cost 63x = 650,000 + 47x 16x = 650,000 x = 40,625
(C) 40,625 calculators sold represents the break-even point, the boundary between profit and loss.

93. (A) The company might try to increase sales and keep the price the same (see part B). It might try to increase the price and keep the sales the same (see part C). Either of these strategies would need further analysis and implementation that are out of place in a discussion here.
(B) Here the cost has been changed to 650,000 + 50.5x, but the revenue is still 63x. Revenue > Cost 63x > 650,000 + 50.5x 12.5x > 650,000 x > 52,000 calculators
(C) Let p = the new price. Here the cost is still 650,000 + 50.5x as in part (B) where x is now known to be 40,625. Thus, cost = 650,000 + 50.5(40,625). The revenue is (price per calculator) (number of calculators) = p(40,625).
Revenue > Cost p(40,625) > 650,000 + 50.5(40,625)
p > 650,000 50.5(40,625)
40,625
p > 66.50 The price could be raised by $3.50 to $66.50.
95. We want 220 ≤ W ≤ 2,750. We are given W = 110I. Substituting, we must solve 220 ≤ 110I ≤ 2,750 2 ≤ I ≤ 25 or [2, 25].

1. The absolute value of a positive number is equal to the number. The absolute value of 0 is 0. If the number is negative, find its absolute value by changing its sign. This is Definition 1 in words.
3. The equation 5 10x states that the distance of x from 5 is 10. Then either x = 5 + 10, thus x = 15,
or x = 5 – 10 , thus x = –5.

69. We consider two cases for |x – 2| = 2x – 7.
Case 1: x – 2 ≥ 0 For this case, the possible values of x are in the set x ≥ 2. Then |x – 2| = x – 2 We solve x – 2 = 2x – 7
–x = –5 x = 5 A solution, since 5 is
among the possible values of x. Case 2: x – 2 < 0 For this case, the possible values of x are in the set x < 2. Then |x – 2| = 2 – x We solve 2 – x = 2x – 7
–3x = –9 x = 3 Not a solution, since 3 is not
among the possible values of x. Solution: x = 5
71. We consider two cases for |3x + 5| = 2x + 6 Case 1: 3x + 5 ≥ 0 For this case, the possible values of x are in the
set x ≥ –5
3.
Then |3x + 5| = 3x + 5.
We solve 3x + 5 = 2x + 6 x = 1 A solution, since 1 is
among the possible values of x.
Case 2: 3x + 5 < 0
For this case, the possible values of x are in the
set x < –5
3.
Then |3x + 5| = –(3x + 5)
We solve –(3x + 5) = 2x + 6 –3x – 5 = 2x + 6 –5x = 11 x = –2.2 A solution, since –2.2 is
among the possible values of x.Solution x = 1, –2.2
SECTION 1-3 31
73. We consider four cases for |x| + |x + 3| = 3. Case 1: x ≥ 0 and x + 3 ≥ 0, that is, x ≥ 0 and x ≥ –3 (or simply x ≥ 0)
|x| = x and |x + 3| = x + 3 Hence: x + x + 3 = 3 2x + 3 = 3 x = 0 which is a possible value for x in this case.
Case 2: x < 0 and x + 3 ≥ 0, that is, x < 0 and x ≥ –3 (or simply –3 ≤ x < 0) |x| = –x and |x + 3| = x + 3 Hence: –x + x + 3 = 3 3 = 3 This is satisfied by all x, but the condition –3 ≤ x < 0 must be imposed.
Case 3: x ≥ 0 and x + 3 < 0, that is, x ≥ 0 and x < –3. These are mutually contradictory, so no solution
is possible in this case. Case 4: x < 0 and x + 3 ≤ 0, that is, x < 0 and x ≤ –3 (or simply x ≤ –3)
|x| = –x and |x + 3| = –(x + 3) Hence: –x + [–(x + 3)] = 3 –x – x – 3 = 3 –2x = 6 x = –3 Combining the results of the four cases, –3 ≤ x ≤ 0 is the solution.
75. We consider two cases for |3 – x| = 2(4 + x) Case 1: 3 – x ≥ 0 For this case, the possible values of x are in the set
x ≤ 3.
Then |3 – x | = 3 – x.
We solve 3 – x = 2(4 + x) 3 – x = 8 + 2x
–3x = 5
x = 5
3
A solution, since 5
3 is among the possible
values of x. Case 2: 3 – x < 0 For this case, the possible values of x are in the
set x > 3.
Then |3 – x | = x – 3 We solve x – 3 = 2(4 + x) x – 3 = 8 + 2x –x = 11 x = –11 Not a solution, since –11 is not
among the possible values of x.
Solution x = 5
3
77. Case 1: x > 0. Then |x| = x. Hence x
x =
x
x = 1.
Case 2: x = 0. Then |x| = 0. Hence x
x is not defined.
Case 3: x < 0. Then |x| = –x. Hence x
x =
x
x = –1.
Thus, the possible values of x
x are 1 and –1.
79. The absolute value of no number is negative, thus can never be less than –3.

81. There are three possible relations between real numbers a and b; either a = b, a > b, or a < b. We examine each case separately.
Case 1: a = b |b – a| = |0| = 0; |a – b| = |0| = 0
Case 2: a > b |b – a| = – (b – a) = a – b | a – b| = a – b
Case 3: b > a |b – a| = b – a |a – b| = – (a – b) = b – a Thus in all three cases |b – a| = |a – b|.
83. If m < n, then m + m < m + n (adding m to both sides) Also, m + n < n + n (adding n to both sides). Hence, m + m < m + n < n + n 2m < m + n < 2n
m < 2
m n < n
85. Case 1. m > 0. Then |m| = m; |–m| = – (–m) = m. Hence |m| = |–m| Case 2. m < 0. Then |m| = –m; |–m| = –m. Hence |m| = |–m| Case 3. m = 0. Then 0 = m = –m, hence |m| = |–m| = 0.

89. First note that a ≤ b is true if a < b or if a = b. Hence a < b implies a ≤ b. Also a = b implies a ≤ b. Now consider three cases (m > 0, m = 0, m < 0).
Case 1. m > 0. Then |m| = m. Also –|m| < 0 Hence –|m| < 0 < m = |m| –|m| < m = |m| –|m| ≤ m ≤ |m|
Case 2. m = 0. Then –|m| = m = |m| = 0. Hence –|m| ≤ m ≤ |m|
Case 3. m < 0. Then |m| = –m, hence –|m| = m. Also |m| > 0. Hence –|m| = m < 0 < |m| –|m| = m < |m| –|m| ≤ m ≤ |m|

83. x is a square root of y if x2 = y. Thus,
(2 – i)2 = 4 – 4i + i2 and (–2 + i)2 = 4 – 4i + i2
= 4 – 4i – 1 = 4 – 4i – 1
= 3 – 4i = 3 – 4i
Hence, 2 – i and –2 + i are square roots of 3 – 4i.

z z = (x + yi)(x –yi) = x2 – (yi)2 = x2 – y2i2 = x2 + y2 or (x2 + y2) + 0i. This is a real number.

93. The conjugate of a complex number is equal to the complex number if and only if the number is real. To prove a theorem containing the phrase "if and only if", it is often helpful to prove two parts separately.
Thus: z = z if z is real;
z = z only if z is real
Hypothesis: z is real Hypothesis: z = z
Conclusion: z = z Conclusion: z is real
Proof: Assume z is real, then Proof: Assume z = z, z = x + 0i = x that is, x – yi = x + yi
z = x – 0i = x Then by the definition of equality x = x –y = y
Hence z = z . –2y = 0 y = 0 Hence z = x + 0i, that is, z is real.
95. The conjugate of the sum of two complex numbers is equal to the sum of their conjugates.
z w = ( ) ( )x yi u vi

= ( )x u y v i
= (x + u) – (y + v)i = x + u – yi – vi = (x – yi) + (u – vi)

= xu – yv – (xv + yu)i = xu – xvi – yv – yui = x(u – vi) – yui + yv(–1)
= x(u – vi) – yui + yvi2 = x(u – vi) – yi(u – vi) = (x – yi)(u – vi)

One would have to choose the quadratic formula, because factoring does not always work and completing the square can require somewhat laborious arithmetic.

61. In this problem, a = 1, b = 4, c = c. Thus, the discriminant b2 – 4ac = (4)2 – 4(1)(c) = 16 – 4c. Hence, if 16 – 4c > 0, thus 16 > 4c or c < 4, there are two distinct real roots. if 16 – 4c = 0, thus c = 4, there is one real double root, and if 16 – 4c < 0, thus 16 < 4c or c > 4, there are two distinct imaginary roots.

77. Let x = one number. Since their sum is 21, 21 – x = other number Then, since their product is 104, x(21 – x) = 104 21x – x2 = 104 0 = x2 – 21x + 104 x2 – 21x + 104 = 0 (x – 13)(x – 8) = 0 x – 13 = 0 or x – 8 = 0 x = 13 x = 8 The numbers are 8 and 13.
79. Let x = first of the two consecutive even integers.
Then x + 2 = second of these integers

81. The per person consumption in 1960 is found by setting the number of years after 1960 = x = 0. Then y = 122 ounces. To find the year when consumption is again 122, set y = 122 and solve.
122 = –0.0665x2 +3.58x + 122
–0.0665x2 +3.58x = 0
x( –0.0665x +3.58) = 0 x = 0 or –0.0665x +3.58 = 0

91. Let r = rate of slow plane. Then r + 140 = rate of fast plane.
After 1 hour r(1) = r = distance traveled by slow plane.
(r + 140)(1) = r + 140 = distance traveled by fast plane.
Applying the Pythagorean theorem, we have r2 + (r + 140)2 = 2602 r2 + r2 + 280r + 19,600 = 67,600 2r2 + 280r – 48,000 = 0 r2 + 140r – 24,000 = 0 (r + 240)(r – 100) = 0 r + 240 = 0 or r – 100 = 0 r = –240 r = 100

99. (A) Let = length of building w = width of building. Then, using the hint, in the similar triangles ABC and AFE, we have
200 w
= 400
200
200 w
= 2
= 2(200 − w) = 400 − 2w
Since the cross-sectional area of the building is given as 15,000 ft2, we have w = 15,000
Substituting, we get, (400 − 2w)w = 15,000 400w − 2w2 = 15,000 0 = 2w2 − 400w + 15,000 0 = w2 − 200w + 7,500 0 = (w − 50)(w − 150) w − 50 = 0 or w − 150 = 0 w = 50 w = 150 = 400 − 2w = 400 − 2w = 400 − 2(50) = 400 − 2(150) = 300 = 100
Thus, there are two solutions: the building is 50 ft wide and 300 ft long or 150 ft wide and 100 ft long.
(B) Preceding as in (A), but with the cross-sectional area given as 25,000 ft2, we have w = 25,000.

101. Let x = distance from the warehouse to Factory A. Since the distance from the warehouse to Factory B via Factory A is known (it is the difference in odometer readings: 52937 — 52846) to be 91 miles, then 91 − x = distance from Factory A to Factory B. The distance from Factory B to the warehouse is known (it is the difference in odometer readings: 53002—52937) to be 65 miles. Applying the Pythagorean theorem, we have
46 CHAPTER 1 EQUATIONS AND INEQUALITIES
x2 + (91 − x)2 = 652 x2 + 8281 − 182x + x2 = 4225 2x2 − 182x + 4056 = 0 x2 − 91x + 2028 = 0 (x − 52)(x − 39) = 0 x − 52 = 0 or x − 39 = 0 x = 52 mi x = 39 mi

Since we are told that the distance from the warehouse to Factory A was greater than the distance from Factory A to Factory B, we discard the solution x = 39, which would lead to 91 − x = 52 miles, a contradiction. 52 miles.

1. If an equation is solved by raising both sides to the same power, the resulting equation may have solutions that are not solutions of the original equation; these are called extraneous solutions.
3. Since 2x x , an absolute value equation can be regarded as a radical equation; these can often be solved
by squaring both sides.
5. This statement is true, since ± 5 are the only two solutions of x2 = 5. T 7. This statement is false. The left side, (x + 5)2, is not equal to x2 + 10x + 25. This only equals x2 + 25 when x = 0. F 9. This statement is false.
( 1x + 1)2 is not equal to x − 1 + 1 or x, in general. In fact
( 1x + 1)2 = x − 1 + 2 1x + 1 = x + 2 1x . This is only equal to x in case x = 1. F
11. This statement is false. If x3 = 2 then x = 3 2 or x is equal to one of two non-real complex numbers whose cube is 2. If x = 8, x3 must equal 512. F

75. Let x = width of cross-section of the beam y = depth of cross-section of the beam From the Pythagorean theorem x2 + y2 = 162
Thus, y = 2256 x
Since the area of the rectangle is given by xy, we have xy = 120
x 2256 x = 120 x2(256 – x2) = 14,400 256x2 – x4 = 14,400 –x4 + 256x2 – 14,400 = 0 (x2)2 – 256x2 + 14,400 = 0

x = 128 1,984
If x = 128 1,984 ≈ 13.1 then
y = 2256 x = 256 (128 1,984) = 128 1,984 ≈ 9.1
Thus the dimensions of the rectangle are 13.1 inches by 9.1 inches. Notice that if x = 128 1,984 , then
y = 128 1,984 and the dimensions are still 13.1 inches by 9.1 inches.

39. The original equation can be rewritten as

( 1)( 3)x x =
3
( 1)( 2)x x
Thus, x = 1 cannot be a solution of this equation. This extraneous solution was introduced when both sides were multiplied by x – 1 in the second line. x = 1 must be discarded and the only correct solution is x = –1. (1-1)
40. In this problem, a = 1, b = –8, c = c. Thus, the discriminant b2 – 4ac = (–8)2 – 4(1)(c) = 64 – 4c. Hence, if c = –16, the discriminant is 64 – 4(–16)=128 > 0. Therefore there are two real solutions. if c = 16, the disciminant is 64 – 4(16) = 0. Therefore, there is one real solution. if c = 32, the discriminant is 64 – 4(32) = –128 < 0. Therefore, there are two imaginary solutions. In general if 64 – 4c > 0, thus 64 > 4c or c < 16, there are two real solutions. if 64 – 4c = 0, thus c = 16, there is one real solution. if 64 – 4c < 0, thus 64 < 4c or c > 16, there are imaginary solutions. (1-5)
41. The given inequality a + b < b – a is equivalent to, successively, a < –a 2a < 0 a < 0 Thus its truth is independent of the value of b, and dependent on a being negative. True for all real b and all negative a. (1-2)
42. If a > b and b is negative, then a

a
b < 1, since dividing both sides by b reverses the

Then xy = 480, thus y = 480
x.
Since the printed portion is surrounded by margins of 2 cm on each side, we have
x – 4 = width of printed portion y – 4 = height of printed portion Hence (x – 4)(y – 4) = 320, that is
(x – 4)480
