Before you start the serious stuff, read the following to show how logs and exponentials can combine to make you happy!!!!

Now to the serious stuff:

 

Exponential and log functions. 1. .
Hint.Let u = ex + 3.

2. (i) Prove that .

(ii) Hence prove

  3. . 4. Evaluate
Answer.63/128
  5. Show . 6.
  7.

The diagram above shows the curve y = loge x and the line y = loge 4.

(i) Solve the equation loge x = loge 4. Hence write down the coordinates of the point of intersection of the two functions.

(ii) Show that the area of the shaded region is 3 u2.

(iii) Find the exact value of .
  8.

The diagram shows the graphs of y = loge x and the tangent to

y = loge x at the point (e, 1).

(i) Show that the equation of the tangent is .

(ii) Explain why for all positive values of x:
 except for x = e.

(iii) Hence show that .

  11.
Hint.Let u = tan x.		 12.
Hint.Let u = sin x.
 

13. and simplify your answer fully.

 14.
Log and trig functions. 15.
Hint.Let u = ln (cos x).		 16. (i) Differentiate loge (cosx) with respect to x.

(ii) Hence or otherwise show
  17. (i) Sketch the graphs of
y = 2 sinx and y = tan x
for 0 ≤ x ≤ π/2.

Mark A as the point of intersection of the graphs where x ≠ 0.

(ii) Find the coordinates of point A.

(iii) Show that

(iv) Find the area of the region between the two curves from the origin to Point A.

Answer.(i) A is (π/3, √3)
(iii) Area = (1 - ln2) u2.		 18. Evaluate .
