2. An ecologist began studying a certain type of plant species in a wetlands area in 2013. In 2015 (t = 2),
there were 59 plants. In 2021 (t = 8), there were 118 plants.
The number of plants in this species can be modeled by the function P given by P (t ) = abt , where P (t ) is
the number of plants during year t , and t is the number of years since 2013.
(A) (i) Use the given data to write two equations that can be used to find the values for constants a
and b in the expression for P (t ).
(ii) Find the values for a and b as decimal approximations.

(B) (i) Use the given data to find the average rate of change of the number of plants, in plants per
year, from t = 2 to t = 8 years. Express your answer as a decimal approximation. Show the
computations that lead to your answer.
(ii) Use the average rate of change found in (i) to estimate the number of plants for t =10 years.
Show the work that leads to your answer.
(iii) The average rate of change found in (i) can be used to estimate the number of plants during
year t for t >10 years. Will these estimates, found using the average rate of change, be less
than or greater than the number of plants predicted by the model P during year t for t >10
years? Explain your reasoning.
(C) For which t-value, t = 6 years or t = 20 years, should the ecologist have more confidence in when
using the model P ? Give a reason for your answer in the context of the problem.

3. The figure shows a clock standing on a level floor with a close-up view of the clock face. The clock face has
a 10-centimeter-long moving hour hand. The center of the clock face is 200 centimeters from the floor.
At time t = 0 hours, the hour hand is pointing directly up to the 12. The next time the hour hand points
directly up to the 12 is at time t =12 hours. As the hour hand moves, the distance of the endpoint of the
hour hand from the floor periodically decreases and increases.
The sinusoidal function h models the distance, in centimeters, of the endpoint of the hour hand from the
floor as a function of time t in hours.
(A) The graph of h and its dashed midline for two full cycles is shown. Five points, F, G, J, K, and P, are
labeled on the graph. No scale is indicated, and no axes are presented.
Determine possible coordinates (t , h(t )) for the five points: F, G, J , K, and P.
(B) The function h can be written in the form h(t ) = a sin (b (t + c )) + d. Find values of constants
a, b, c, and d.

(C) Refer to the graph of h in part (A). The t-coordinate of J is t1, and the t-coordinate of K is t 2 .
(i) On the interval (t1 , t 2 ), which of the following is true about h ?
a. h is positive and increasing.
b. h is positive and decreasing.
c. h is negative and increasing.
d. h is negative and decreasing.
(ii) Describe how the rate of change of h is changing on the interval (t1 , t 2 ).

4. Directions:
• Unless otherwise specified, the domain of a function f is assumed to be the set of all real numbers
x for which f ( x ) is a real number. Angle measures for trigonometric functions are assumed to be in
radians.
• Solutions to equations must be real numbers. Determine the exact value of any expression that can
be obtained without a calculator. For example, log 2 8 and sin −1 (1) can be evaluated without a
calculator.
• Unless otherwise specified, combine terms using algebraic methods and rules for exponents and
x5
logarithms, where applicable. For example, 2 x + 3x , 52 53, , and ln 3 + ln 5 should be rewritten in
x2
equivalent forms.
• For each part of the question, show the work that leads to your answers.
(A) The functions g and h are given by

g ( x ) = log 4 ( 2 x )
h (x ) =
(e )
x 5
.

(i) Solve g ( x ) = 3 for values of x in the domain of g.
(ii) Solve h( x ) = e1 2 for values of x in the domain of h.
(B) The functions j and k are given by

j ( x ) = log10 ( x + 1) − 5log10 ( 2 − x ) + log10 3
k ( x ) = sec x − cos x .
(i) Rewrite j ( x ) as a single logarithm base 10 without negative exponents in any part of the
expression. Your result should be of the form log10 (expression ).
(ii) Rewrite k ( x ) as a product involving tan x and sin x and no other trigonometric functions.

Find all input values in the domain of m that yield an output value of
