A.12: Given |x − 7| < 1, it follows from the fourth property of absolute value in (3) that −1 < x − 7 < 1,
and thus 6 < x < 8. Therefore
|x − 5| + |x − 10| = (x − 5) + (10 − x) = 5.
A.14: 1 − 4x > 2: 4x < 1 − 2; x < − 14 . Solution set: −∞, − 14 .

A.21: −6 5 − 2x < 2: −11 −2x < −3; 3 < 2x 11; 2 <x 2 . Solution set: 2, 2 .

A.22: 3 < 1 − 5x < 7: 2 < −5x < 6; −6 < 5x < −2; − 56 < x < − 25 . Solution set: − 5 , − 25 .
A.23: If |3 − 2x| < 5, then by the fourth property of absolute value in (3) we have −5 < 3 − 2x < 5.
Thus −8 < −2x < 2, and hence −2 < 2x < 8. Therefore −1 < x < 4. So the solution set of the original
inequality is (−1, 4).
A.24: If |5x + 3| 4, then by an extension of the fourth property of absolute value in (3) we have
−4 5x + 3 4. Thus −7 5x 1, and so − 75 x 15 . Thus the solution set of the original inequality is
the interval − 75 , 15 .
A.25: We will find the complement of the solution set—those real numbers not in the solution set—by
solving instead the inequality |1 − 3x| 2. By an extension of the fourth property of absolute value in (3),
we then have −2 1 − 3x 2. It follows that −3 −3x 1, and hence −1 3x 3. So the complement
of the solution set of the original equality is the closed interval − 13 , 1 . Therefore the solution set of the
inequality |1 − 3x| > 2 is (−∞, 13 ) ∪ (1, +∞).

A.26: Given: 1 < |7x − 1| < 3. Case 1: 7x − 1 0. This is equivalent to the assertion that x 7;
moreover, the given inequality takes the form 1 < 7x − 1 < 3; that is, 2 < 7x < 4, so that 27 < x < 47 . Hence
the solutions we obtain in Case 1 are the real numbers in the interval 27 , 47 . Case 2: 7x − 1 < 0. This is
equivalent to the assertion that x < 17 ; moreover, the given inequality takes the form 1 < 1 − 7x < 3. Hence
0 < −7x < 2, so that −2 < 7x < 0, and therefore − 72 < x < 0. So the solutions we obtain in Case 2 are the
real numbers in the interval − 27 , 0 . These two cases are exclusive and exhaustive, and so the solution set
of the original inequality is − 27 , 0 ∪ 27 , 47 .
A.27: Given: 2 |4−5x| 4. Case 1: 4−5x 0. This is equivalent to the assertion that x 45 ; moreover,
in this case the original inequality takes the form 2 4 − 5x 4. Thus −2 −5x 0, so that 0 5x 2.
So the solutions we obtain in Case 1 are the real numbers in both of the intervals 0, 25 and −∞, 45 . So
Case 1 contributes the interval 0, 25 to the solution set. Case 2: 4 − 5x < 0. This is equivalent to the
1921
assertion that x > 45 . Also, the original inequality takes the form 2 5x − 4 4; that is, 6 5x 8, so
6
that x 85 . All these numbers satisfy the other condition that x > 45 , and hence Case 2 contributes the
5
interval 65 , 85 to the solution set. Therefore the solution set of the original inequality is 0, 25 ∪ 65 , 85 .
so we may multiply both sides by the denominator without reversing the inequality:
1
1 > 6x + 3; 6x < −2; x<− .
3
implies that the denominator in the fraction is negative, so when we multiply both sides by that denominator
we must reverse the inequality:
37
2 15x − 35; 15x 37; x ≈ 2.466666666667.
15
7
7 − 3x < 0; 3x > 7; x> ≈ 2.333333333333.

So the original inequality has solution set 3 , 15 .
2
<1
|3x − 4|
is never negative, so when we multiply both sides of the inequality by |3x − 4|, the direction of the inequality
will remain unchanged. Thus
2 < |3x − 4|.
We find the complement of the solution set by solving instead |3x − 4| 2. By an extension of the fourth
property of absolute value in (3), we have
2
−2 3x − 4 2; 2 3x 6; x 2.

1922
Therefore the solution set of the original inequality is −∞, 23 ∪ (2, +∞).

A.31: If x = 5 then |1 − 5x| > 0, so that
1 1
>0>− ,
|1 − 5x| 3
and if x = 15 then the left-hand side of the given inequality is undefined. Consequently the solution set we
seek is −∞, 15 ∪ 15 , +∞ .
A.32: Given x2 − x − 6 > 0, first factor: (x − 3)(x + 2) > 0. Hence we consider two cases. Case 1: x − 3 > 0
and x + 2 > 0. This is equivalent to the assertion that x > 3 and x > −2, and thus Case 1 contributes the
interval (3, +∞) to the solution set. Case 2: x − 3 < 0 and x + 2 < 0. This is equivalent to the assertion
that x < 3 and x < −2, and so Case 2 contributes the interval (−∞, −2) to the solution set. The cases are
exclusive and exhaustive, and so the solution set of the given quadratic inequality is (−∞, −2) ∪ (3, +∞).
A.33: Given x2 − 2x − 8 > 0, first factor: (x + 2)(x − 4) > 0. Case 1: x > −2 and x > 4, so that x > 4.
Case 2: x < −2 and x < 4, so that x < −2. The cases are exclusive and exhaustive, so the solution set is
(−∞, −2) ∪ (4, +∞).
A.34: Given x2 − 3x + 2 < 0, first factor: (x − 1)(x − 2) < 0. Case 1: x > 1 and x < 2, so that 1 < x < 2.
Case 2: x < 1 and x > 2, so this case contributes no additional solutions. Solution set: (1, 2)

A.41: Suppose that a and b are real numbers such that 0 < a and 0 < b. By the second property in (1),
0 + b < a + b; that is, b < a + b. But 0 < b, so by the first property in (1), 0 < a + b. Therefore the sum of
two positive numbers is positive.
A.42: Suppose that a and b are real numbers such that 0 < a and 0 < b. By the third property in (1),
0 · b < a · b; that is, 0 < ab. Therefore the product of two positive numbers is positive.
A.43: If a and b are both negative, then a < 0, so a · b > 0 · b by the fourth property in (1). Thus ab is
positive. If a is positive and b is negative, then b < 0, so a · b < a · 0 = 0 by the third property in (3). Thus
ab < 0, and hence ab is negative.
A.44: If a < b and a and b are both negative, then a < b < 0. By Problem 43, ab is positive, so

That is, |a| − |b| |a − b|.
A.47: Suppose first that |a| < b. Then there are two cases. Case 1: a 0. Then a < b and b > 0, so
−b < 0 < a < b, and therefore −b < a < b. Case 2: a < 0. Then −a < b, so b > 0. Thus −b < a < 0 < b,
so that −b < a < b. Therefore if |a| < b, then −b < a < b.
Next suppose that −b < a < b. Again there are two cases. Case 1: a 0. Then a = |a|, and thus |a| < b.
Case 2: a < 0. Then |a| = −a. But from the hypothesis −b < a < b, it follows that
Appendix B
B.1: Both the segments AB and BC have the same slope 1. So the three given points do lie on a single
straight line.
B.2: Both the segments AB and BC have the same slope − 21 . Therefore the three given points lie on a
single straight line.
B.3: The segment AB has slope −2 but the segment BC has slope − 43 . Thus the three given points do
not lie on a single straight line.
B.4: The segment AB has slope 1 but the segment BC has slope 87 . So the three given points do not lie
on a single straight line.
B.5: Both AB and CD have slope − 12 ; both BC and DA have slope 2. This parallelogram is a rectangle!
B.6: Both AB and CD have slope − 31 ; both BC and DA have slope 23 . This quadrilateral is a parallelo-
gram.
B.7: AB has slope 2 and AC has slope − 21 . Hence triangle ABC has a right angle at the vertex A.
B.8: AB has slope −1 and BC has slope 1. Hence triangle ABC has a right angle at the vertex B.
B.9: The given equation can be put in the form y = 23 x, so the line has slope 2
3 and y-intercept 0.
B.10: The given equation takes the form y = −x + 1, so the line has slope −1 and y-intercept 1.
1925
B.11: The given equation takes the form y = 2x + 3, so the line has slope 2 and y-intercept 3.
B.12: The given equation can be rewritten in the form y = − 34 x + 32 , and consequently the line has slope
− 34 and y-intercept 32 .
B.13: The given equation can be put in the form y = − 52 x+ 35 , and consequently the line with this equation
has slope − 25 and y-intercept 35 .
B.14: x = 7.
B.15: y = −5.
B.16: The points (2, 0) and (0, −3) are on L, so L has slope 32 . It has y-intercept −3, so the slope-intercept
equation of L is
3
y= x − 3.
2
If you don’t care for fractions, you can write the equation of L in the form 3x − 2y = 6.
B.17: The slope of L is 2, so a point-slope equation of L is y − 3 = 2(x − 5); its slope-intercept equation
is y = 2x − 7.
B.19: The slope of L is tan 135◦ = −1, so a point-slope equation of L is y − 2 = −(x − 4); another equation
of L is x + y = 6.
B.21: The equation 2x + y = 10 can be written in the form y = −2x + 10, so the line with this equation
has slope −2. So a parallel line passing through (1, 5) has point-slope equation y − 5 = −2(x − 1); the
slope-intercept equation of this line is y = −2x + 7.
− 12 . Every perpendicular line has slope 2, so a point-slope equation of L is y −4 = 2(x+2); its slope-intercept
equation is y = 2x + 8.
B.23: The given line segment has slope 2 and midpoint (1, 6). Hence L has slope − 21 and thus point-slope
equation y − 6 = − 12 (x − 1). Another equation of L is x + 2y = 13.
B.24: The line L1 with equation y = x + 1 has slope 1, so the line L2 through (2, 1) and perpendicular to
L1 has slope −1. Because L2 passes through the point (2, 1), it has point-slope equation y − 1 = −(x − 2);
1926
that is, y = 3 − x. So L1 and L2 meet where 3 − x = x + 1; that is, where x = 1 (and y = 2). Therefore the
√
perpendicular distance from (2, 1) to L1 is the distance between (2, 1) and (1, 2), which is 2 .
B.25: The parallel lines have slope 5, so the line y = − 51 x + 1 is perpendicular to both of them. It meets
20 17
the line y = 5x + 1 at the point (0, 1) and the line y = 5x + 9 at the point − 13 , 13 . The answer is the
distance between the last two points, which is

B.26: A rough sketch shows that the fourth vertex D must lie in the first quadrant and that D is the
intersection of the lines L1 and L2 , where L1 passes through C and is parallel to AB whereas L2 passes
through A and is parallel to BC. The point-slope equations of L1 and L2 are
1
y − 1 = −6(x − 3) and y−6= (x + 1),
3
respectively. Their simultaneous solution yields D = (2, 7). If the word “consecutive” is omitted from the
statement of Problem 26, then there are two other possibilities for D; they are (−4, 5) and (4, −5).
B.27: With A(−1, 6), B(0, 0), C(3, 1), and D(2, 7) forming the consecutive vertices of the parallelogram,
its diagonals are AC and BD. The midpoint of AC is 1, 72 and the midpoint of BD is the same. Therefore
the diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other.
B.28: The side AB of the quadrilateral has slope − 43 and so does the opposite side CD. The side BC of
4
the quadrilateral has slope 3 and so does the opposite side AD. Hence ABCD is a parallelogram—in fact,
it is a rectangle. The lengths of the sides AB and BC are
42 + 32 = 5 and 32 + 42 = 5,
1
respectively, so ABCD is a rhombus (in fact, it’s a square). The diagonal AC of the rhombus has slope 7
and the other diagonal BD of the rhombus has slope −7. Therefore AC and BD are perpendicular to each
other.
5
B.29: The midpoint of AB is P 2, 3 and the midpoint of BC is Q(5, 4). The slope of P Q is 25 , the same
as the slope of AC, and hence P Q is parallel to AC.
B.30: The midpoint of BC is Q(5, 4), so the line containing A(2, 1) and Q has equation y = x − 1.
The other two medians lie on the lines y = 3 and y = −2x + 11 (obtained in much the same way). The
simultaneous solution (4, 3) of the last two equations also satisfies the first equation, and therefore the
medians of the triangle do meet in a single point.

B.33: Because F and K satisfy a linear equation, K = mF + b for some constants m and b. From the
data given in the statement of the problem, we find that
373.16 = 212m + b.
5
Subtraction of the first equation from the second yields 180m = 100, so that m = . Then the first
9
equation here yields
B.34: Because of the linear relationship between L and C, there exist constants m and b such that
L = mC + b. The data given in the statement of the problem then yield
Subtraction of the first of these equations from the second yields 90m = 0.192, so that

m= = ≈ 0.002133333333.

B.35: If s denotes weekly sales in gallons and p the selling price per gallon, then s = mp + b for some
constants m and b. From the data given in the statement of the problem, we have
1928
Subtract the second of these equations from the first to find that
Therefore s = s(p) = −1200p + 3008. At $1.56 per gallon one would expect to sell s(1.56) = 1136 gallons
per week.
Subtract the second equation from the first to obtain x = 137. Substitute this value of x in the first equation
in (1) to obtain 2329 − 10y = 57, so that y = 227.2. Hence the two lines are not parallel; they cross at the
point (137, 227.2).
2x + 3y = 5,

Then divide each term in the numerator and the denominator by cos x cos y:

1 − tan x tan y
For these computations to be valid, we need to know that neither cos x = 0 nor cos y = 0, so that neither
x nor y may be an odd integral multiple of π/2. We also require that tan x tan y = 1 and, of course, that
x + y is also not an odd integral multiple of π/2.

D.2: Given " > 0, let δ = "/3. Suppose that 0 < |x − 2| < δ. Then |3x − 6| < 3δ = ". Therefore
lim 3x = 6.

D.3: Given " > 0, let δ = ". Suppose that 0 < |x − 2| < δ. Then |(x + 3) − 5| < δ = ". Therefore
lim (x + 3) = 5.
x→2
D.4: Given " > 0, let δ = "/2. Suppose that 0 < |x − (−3)| < δ. Then |2x + 6| < 2δ, and thus
|(2x + 1) − (−5)| < ". Therefore, by definition,
D.5: Given " > 0, let δ be the minimum of 1 and "/3. Suppose that 0 < |x − 1| < δ. Then |x − 1| < 1;
consequently,
−1 < x − 1 < 1;
1 < x + 1 < 3;
|x + 1| < 3.
"
|x2 − 1| = |x + 1| · |x − 1| < 3 · = ".

D.6: Case 1: a > 0. Given " > 0, let δ be the minimum of 3a and "/(5a). If 0 < |x − a| < δ, then
|x − a| < 3a;
|x + a| < 5a.
1936
Moreover, if |x − a| < δ, then |x − a| < "/(5a). Hence
"
|x2 − a2 | = |x + a| · |x − a| < 5a · = ".
5a
Case 3: a = 0. Given " > 0, choose δ to be the minimum of 1 and ". If 0 < |x − 0| < δ, then
D.7: Given " > 0, let δ be the minimum of 1 and "/6. Suppose that 0 < |x − (−1)| < δ. Then |x + 1| < δ,
and so
|x + 1| < 1; −1 < x + 1 < 1; −3 < x − 1 < −1 < 3; |x − 1| < 3.
Hence
"
|(2x2 − 1) − 1| = 2|x − 1| · |x + 1| < 2 · 3 · = ".

Case 2: a < 0. The proof in this case is very similar; the major change is to let δ be the minimum of − 12 a

Given " < 0, let δ = " . Suppose that 0 < |x − 0| < δ. Then x2 < ". Therefore

This establishes Eq. (1).

that is,

|x − a| < " ax a + x .

δ < " ax a + x ,
and this can be assured by choosing δ < 34 a3/2 ". Therefore choose

D.11: Given " > 0, note that "/2 is also positive. Choose δ1 so that
"
|f (x) − L| < if 0 < |x − a| < δ1 ;

choose δ2 so that
"
|f (x) − M | < if 0 < |x − a| < δ2 .

Thus L and M differ by an amount smaller than any positive real number. Therefore L = M .
D.12: There is no problem if C = 0. (Given " > 0, choose δ = 1.) Suppose that C = 0. Given " > 0, there
exists δ > 0 such that if 0 < |x − a| < δ, then

It follows that
|Cf (x) − CL| = |C | · |f (x) − L| < ".
D.13: We treat only the case L > 0; the case L < 0 is quite similar. Let " > 0 be given. Choose δ > 0 so

D.14: We treat only the case a > 0; the case a < 0 is similar and the case a = 0 is trivial. Let " > 0 be
