Solution

QUESTIONS AND THE ANSWER Page 2/1 — Question code: 1234


The restaurant requires a minimum of 2 tables, each table accommodating 9 people, so x ⩾ 2 × 9 = 18.
Furthermore, the cost per guest is 297 thousand Vietnamese dong, so C(x) ⩾ 6 + 0.297 × 18 = 11.346
and the family plans to spend a maximum of 42.5 million, hence the maximum number of invited guests is
42.5
= 143. Since the number of invited guests is a natural number, the domain for the cost function of the
0.297
party is D = N ∩ [18; 143] and the range for the cost function is R = [5346; 42.5].
The correct answer is C □

Question 4 (L.O.2). A rectangular storage container with an open top has a volume of 14m3 . The length
of its base is quadruple its width. Material for the base costs 11 dollars per square meter; material for
the sides costs 8 dollars per square meter. Express the cost of materials as a function of the width w of
the base.

Solution

Let w and 4w be the width and length of the base, respectively, and h be the height. The total cost is

C = 11 × w × 4w + 8 × 2(w + 4w)h.

Using the fact that the volume is 14, we have w × 4w × h = 14 ⇒ h = . Therefore,

The line x = 0 is not the vertical asymptote of the curve y = f (x).
On the other hand,

Question 35 (L.O.2). Recall that volume of a right cylinder is V = π.r2 .h, where r is the radius of the
base and h is the height. Given a right cylinder with the radius of the base of 9 cm and the height of 5
cm. The radius of the base is increasing at a rate of 0.8 cm/s, and its height is increasing at a rate of 0.21

A 278.9661 B 280.2004 C 279.6332 D 279.1033 E 279.8283

Solution

The formula for the volume of a right cylinder is

V = π.r2 .h, (1)

where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.


In this problem, V, r and h are functions of the time t in seconds. Taking the derivative of both sides of
equation (1) with respect to time yields

At what rate is the volume decreasing at this instant?

C(x) = 0.3x2 + 12x + 4915.2, (hundreds dollars)

C(x)
The average cost per batch when producing x batches is given by the formula Cave = · Find x such
x
that the average cost atains minimum value.
A 125 B 131 C 124 D 123 E 128

Solution

We have

C(x) 0.3x2 + 12x + 4915.2 ′ 4915.2 x = −128 (rejected)
Cave = = ⇒ Cave = 0.3 − 2
=0⇔
x x x x = 128 (accepted)

Comparing the values of Cave when x = 128 and when x = 264 we obtain

min Cave = min{88.8000; 109.8182} = 88.8000.

Therefore, the average cost atains minimum value when x = 128.

4 Mixed problems

[L.O.2] Using the following information, answer the questions from 58 to 59.
A family plans to organize a party at a restaurant. The overall service cost for the event (venue, decoration,
etc.) is 8 million Vietnamese dong. The restaurant requires a minimum of 2 tables, with each table
accommodating 11 people. The cost per guest is 250 thousand Vietnamese dong. The family plans to spend a
maximum of 28.25 million Vietnamese dong. If we denote x as the number of invited guests, C(x) (in million
Vietnamese dong) represents the cost for the party.

Question 58. Find the domain of C(x) is


A N ∩ [22; 81] B [0; 81] C [22; 28.25]
D N ∩ [0; 22] E N ∩ [8; 28.25]

We have C(x) = 8 + × x. The restaurant requires a minimum of 2 tables, each table accommodating
1000
11 people, so x ⩾ 22. On the another hand, the family plans to spend a maximum of 28.25 million, hence
250
C(x) ⩽ 28.25 ⇔ 8 + × x ⩽ 28.25 ⇔ x ⩽ 81.

[L.O.2] Using the following information, answer the questions from 62 to 64.
A water filter equipment manufacturer has a fixed monthly cost of 340 million Vietnamese dong, and the
variable cost to produce x devices is C(x) = −0.005x2 + 6.0x, (0 ⩽ x ⩽ 800) (million Vietnamese dong). The
selling price per device is p(x) = −0.002x + 8.6, (0 ⩽ x ⩽ 800) (million Vietnamese dong).

Question 62. The company’s revenue (million Vietnamese dong) when selling 144 devices in a month
is
A 1197.9280 B 1193.9280 C 1199.9280 D 1196.9280 E 1192.9280

Solution

The company’s revenue is R(x) = x.p(x) = x(−0.002x + 8.6). Therefore, the company’s revenue (million
Vietnamese dong) when selling 144 devices in a month is R(144) = 144(−0.002 × 144 + 8.6) = 1196.9280
The correct answer is D □

Question 63. The company’s profit (million Vietnamese dong) when selling 144 devices in a month
is
A 99.6080 B 94.6080 C 91.6080 D 96.6080 E 98.6080

Solution

The company’s profit is

P (x) = R(x) − C(x) − 340 = x(−0.002x + 8.6) − (−0.005x2 + 6.0x) − 340.

Therefore, The company’s profit (million Vietnamese dong) when selling 144 devices in a month is

P (144) = 144(−0.002 × 144 + 8.6) − (−0.005 × (144)2 + 6.0 × 144) − 340 = 96.6080

The correct answer is D □

Question 64. To achieve the profit of 2300 million Vietnamese dong in a month, how many devices
does the company need to sell in that month?
A 605 B 604 C 601 D 600 E 602

Solution

The company’s profit is

P (x) = R(x) − C(x) − 340 = x(−0.002x + 8.6) − (−0.005x2 + 6.0x) − 340.

QUESTIONS AND THE ANSWER Page 27/1 — Question code: 1234


Therefore, To achieve the profit of 2300 million Vietnamese dong in a month, the company need to sell x
devices in that month, it means that x(−0.002x + 8.6) − (−0.005x2 + 6.0x) − 340 = 2300 ⇒ x = 600
The correct answer is D □

Solution

QUESTIONS AND THE ANSWER Page 29/1 — Question code: 1234


We have f ′′ (x) = −18x − 100 sin(5x) + 9e3x ⇒ f ′ (x) = −9x2 + 20 cos(5x) + 3e3x + C1 . Since f ′ (0) = 23,
so C1 = 0. Thus, f (x) = −3x3 + 4 sin(5x) + e3x + 0x + C2 . Since f (0) = −379, nên C2 = −380. Therefore,
f (2) ≈ −2.7473.

Since y(0) = 6 ⇒ C1 + C2 = 6 and y ′ (0) = 8C1 + (−4)C2 = 24 ⇒ C1 = 4, C2 = 2. Therefore,

the rate at which it is flowing out.

= rate in − rate out
dt

2. Step 2. The rate at which salt enters the tank is the concentration 0 gr/l times the flow rate 12 l/min
or 0 gr/min.

3. Step 3. To find the rate at which salt leaves the tank, we need to multiply the concentration of salt
in the tank by the rate of outflow, 12 l/min. The volume of water in the tank remains constant at 100
liters, and since the mixture is well-stirred, the concentration throughout the tank is the same, namely,

gr/l. Therefore, the rate at which salt leaves the tank is gr/min.

Question 109 (L.O.2). A tank with a capacity of 130 liters initially contains 80 grams of salt dissolved
in 100 liters of water. Pure water flows into the tank at the rate of 12 liters per minute, and the well
stirred mixture flows out of the tank at the rate of 2 liters per minute. How much salt does the tank
contain when the tank is full?

Solution

dQ
1. Step 1. The rate of change of salt in the tank, is equal to the rate at which salt is flowing in minus

the rate at which it is flowing out.
dQ

2. Step 2. The rate at which salt enters the tank is the concentration 0 gr/l times the flow rate 12 l/min
or 0 gr/min.

3. Step 3. To find the rate at which salt leaves the tank, we need to multiply the concentration of salt in
the tank by the rate of outflow, 2 l/min. The volume of water in the tank after t minutes is 100 + (12 −
