    ECO-1010-1,2 Mathematics for Economists:

    Assignment 1

    Total Marks: 10

    1) A line L passes through the point (1, 1) and has a slope of 3. A line M passes
    through (−1, 2) and (3, −1). Find the equations for L and M respectively. Having found
    the two equations, solve for the point/s of intersection.

    2) Prove the following via the method of induction:


    1
    12 + 22 + · · · + n2 = n(n + 1)(2n + 1)∀n ∈ N
    6

    3) A survey revealed that 50 people liked coffee, 40 liked tea, 35 liked both coffee and
    tea, and 10 did not like either coffee or tea.

    a) How many people like only tea?


    b) How many persons in all responded to the survey?

    4) a) Perform the following division: (2x3 + 2x − 1) ÷ (x − 1)

    b) Express the polynomial q(x) = x3 − 2x2 − x + 2 as a product of linear factors.

    5) a) Solve the following equation for x: 3ln(x) + 2ln(x2 ) = 6

    b) Simplify the following using rules of natural logs and exponential functions: ln(x4 e−x )
