11a The diagram shows the tangent 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 and the graph 𝑦 = log 𝑒 𝑥

Let 𝑥 = 𝑎 for some 0 < 𝑎 < 𝑒. As 𝑎 traverses from 0 to 𝑒, the tangent becomes less
steep, and as the tangents are straight lines, they will intersect the 𝑦-axis at
various points where 𝑦 < 0.
Let 𝑥 = 𝑏 for some 𝑒 < 𝑏 < ∞. As 𝑏 increases from 𝑒, the tangent becomes less
steep, and as the tangents are straight lines, they will intersect the 𝑦-axis at
various points where 𝑦 > 0.
Therefore, only the tangent at (𝑒, 1) passes through the origin.

11b
Observe the points below the curve. Because the curve is convex everywhere,
there are no tangents that can possibly intersect any point that lies below the
curve.
Observe the points above the curve, located within the domain 𝑥 > 0. Any point
above the curve in this domain can be intersected by 2 tangents.
Any point located outside of the domain, i.e. 𝑥 ≤ 0, is intersected by 1 tangent.
Any point located on the curve is intersected by only one tangent.

16f Given that y  0 as x  0 and the tangent approaches vertical as x  0 .

The range is y  1 .

17a y  log e 1  x 2 

So the domain is all real values of x .

So y  log e 1  x 2  is an even function.

So the tangent is x  ay  a 1  log e a  .

20b Suppose the tangent at 𝑥 = 𝑎 passes through the origin.


Substituting 𝑥 = 0, 𝑦 = 0 into the equation for the tangent gives:
0 − 𝑎 × 0 = 𝑎(1 − log 𝑒 𝑎)
0 = 𝑎(1 − log 𝑒 𝑎)
1 − log 𝑒 𝑎 = 0
log 𝑒 𝑎 = 1
𝑎=𝑒

So  e,1 is the only point on y  log e x where the tangent passes through the

1a

The graph of 𝑦 = 𝑒 −𝑥 is the reflection of 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 about the 𝑦-axis.


The 𝑦-intercepts are identical, when 𝑥 = 0, 𝑦 = 𝑒 0 = 𝑒 −0 = 1.
Observe 𝑦 = 𝑒 −𝑥 , 𝑦 ′ = −𝑒 −𝑥 . At 𝑥 = 0, 𝑦 ′ = −1 (gradient of the tangent).
The equation of the tangent of 𝑦 = 𝑒 −𝑥 is 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏, 𝑚 = −1
At 𝑥 = 0, 𝑦 = 1 ⇒ 1 = −0 + 𝑏 ⇒ 𝑏 = 1
∴ 𝑦 = −𝑥 + 1
Observe 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 , 𝑦 ′ = 𝑒 𝑥 . At 𝑥 = 0, 𝑦 ′ = 1 (gradient of the tangent).
The equation of the tangent of 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 is 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏, 𝑚 = 1
At 𝑥 = 0, 𝑦 = 1 ⇒ 1 = 𝑥 + 𝑏 ⇒ 𝑏 = 1
∴𝑦 =𝑥+1
The tangents meet at right angles.

The graph of 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 is the reflection of 𝑦 = log 𝑒 𝑥 about the line 𝑦 = 𝑥, as they are
inverse functions.
The 𝑦-intercept occurs on the curve 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 , as 𝑥 = 0 is only within the domain of
𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 . At 𝑥 = 0, 𝑦 = 𝑒 0 = 1.
The 𝑥-intercept occurs on the curve 𝑦 = log 𝑒 𝑥, as 𝑦 = 0 is outside of the range of
𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 . At 𝑦 = 0, log 𝑒 𝑥 = 0 ⇒ 𝑥 = 1.
Observe 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 , 𝑦 ′ = 𝑒 𝑥 . At 𝑥 = 0, 𝑦 ′ = 1 (gradient of the tangent).
The equation of the tangent of 𝑦 = 𝑒 −𝑥 is 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏, 𝑚 = 1
At 𝑥 = 0, 𝑦 = 1 ⇒ 1 = 0 + 𝑏 ⇒ 𝑏 = 1
∴𝑦 =𝑥+1

Observe 𝑦 = log 𝑒 𝑥 , 𝑦 ′ = 𝑥. At 𝑥 = 1, 𝑦 ′ = 1 (gradient of the tangent).

The equation of the tangent of 𝑦 = log 𝑒 𝑥 is 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏, 𝑚 = 1


At 𝑥 = 1, 𝑦 = 0 ⇒ 0 = 1 + 𝑏 ⇒ 𝑏 = −1
∴𝑦 =𝑥−1
The tangents have the same gradients but different intercepts, indicating they are
parallel in the same plane.

Chapter 5 worked solutions – The exponential and logarithmic functions

The equation of 𝑦 is defined for all real values of 𝑥


Therefore, 𝑦 ′′ = 𝑒 𝑥 is defined for all real values of 𝑥.
For all values of 𝑥, the range of 𝑦 ′′ is in the interval (0, ∞)
As such, 𝑦 ′′ > 0 ∀ 𝑥
The curve is always concave up.

14d Since we have determined that a stationary point exists at (0,1) and the curve is
concave up for all values of 𝑥, we can infer that the stationary point (0,1) is a local
minimum.
We can therefore, infer the range of 𝑦 ≥ 1

15 The stationary point 𝑦 = 𝑥𝑒 −2𝑥 is when 𝑦 ′ = 0


By the chain rule,
𝑑 𝑑 −2𝑥
𝑦′ = (𝑥)𝑒 −2𝑥 + 𝑥 (𝑒 )
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥
= 𝑒 −2𝑥 − 2𝑥𝑒 −2𝑥
= 𝑒 −2𝑥 (1 − 2𝑥)
When 𝑦 ′ = 0,
𝑒 −2𝑥 (1 − 2𝑥) = 0
⇒ 𝑒 −2𝑥 = 0 or 1 − 2𝑥 = 0
As the range of 𝑒 𝑢 does not include 0 for any value of 𝑢,
1 − 2𝑥 = 0

At 𝑥 = 2 , 𝑦 = (2) 𝑒 −2(2) = 2 𝑒 −1 = 2𝑒

The stationary point is therefore at (2 , ).
2𝑒

To determine the nature of the stationary point, the second derivative 𝑦′′ should
be determined.
By the chain rule,
𝑑 −2𝑥 𝑑
𝑦 ′′ = (𝑒 ) (1 − 2𝑥) + 𝑒 −2𝑥 (1 − 2𝑥)
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥
= −2𝑒 −2𝑥 (1 − 2𝑥) + 𝑒 −2𝑥 (−2)
= −2𝑒 −2𝑥 + 4𝑥𝑒 −2𝑥 − 2𝑒 −2𝑥
= 4𝑥𝑒 −2𝑥 − 4𝑒 −2𝑥
= 4𝑒 −2𝑥 (𝑥 − 1)

At 𝑥 = 2,
1 1 2
𝑦 ′′ = 4𝑒 −2(2) ( − 1) = −2𝑒 −1 = − < 0
2 𝑒
As this is a negative value, the curve is concave down at the stationary point.
The stationary point is therefore a maximum turning point.

41b The region in the first integral is 8 times larger than the first because the area is
equivalent to a vertical dilation by a factor of 8. If the graph is inspected such that
𝑦
𝑦 = 2𝑥 is dilated vertically by a factor of 8, (draw the graph 8 = 2𝑥 ), it is
equivalent to a translation to the left of the same graph (𝑦 = 2𝑥+3 ). Therefore,
the region of the first integral is simply transformed by a vertical dilation of 8
and translated 3 units to the right to be the region of the second integral.
