Submission Format
• This assignment consists of two parts: the take-home part and the in-class part. You must complete
both parts and submit them according to the following guidelines:
Take-home activities
• You are required to provide complete answers to all tasks. Use software to support your answers
when you are allowed to.
• Answers need to be provided following clear and coherent steps, using the correct formulas and
equations. Final answers without detailed steps are not accepted.
• If a schematic, diagram, or photo is copied, the source must be referenced properly. Quotations are
not allowed by any means. Only re-wording with proper reference is accepted.
• This is a strictly individual assignment and no collaboration amongst students is allowed, where
working with your colleagues is not a teamwork, it is plagiarism. Also, if there was any suspicion
then a selective oral will be done.
• You are required to upload your submission files (MS word file or pdf) to the university’s eLearning
system through (https://elearning.htu.edu.jo/) within the submission date and time stated above. NO
SUBMISSION by EMAIL and NO LATE SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
• Your submission will be detected if its content created by any of AI programs as we will depend
also on the Turnitin similarity results.

Assignment Brief and Guidance
You applied to work as a mathematician in the Department of Simulation and Analysis in “Electronica”,
a major industrial hardware developer. You were given these problems to demonstrate your practical
mathematical skills.
Question One:
Use appropriate software to answer the following question verifying your results and graphs.
Graph the given function, not by plotting points but by starting with the graph of one of the standard
functions, explaining the transformations step by step.
𝑥
𝑦 = − √1 +
2
Question Two:
1. Find the equation of the line normal to the curve 𝑦 2 = 9(3 − 𝑥)5 𝑥 2
at 𝑥 = 2 and 𝑦 > 0.
2.
a. Find an equation for the line that is tangent to the curve 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 − 6 𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 at the origin.
b. Graph the curve and the tangent line together (using software). The tangent intersects the curve
at another point. Use Zoom and Trace to estimate the points coordinates.
c. Confirm your estimate of the coordinates of the second intersection point by solving the
equations for the curve and the tangent line simultaneously.

Question Three:
An economy has three sectors: labor, transportation, and food industries. Suppose the demand on $1.00
in labor is $0.40 for transportation and $0.20 for food; the demand on $1.00 in transportation is $0.50
for labor and $0.30 for transportation; and the demand on $1.00 in food production is $0.50 for labor,
$0.05 for transportation, and $0.35 for food. Outside consumer demand for the current production period
is $10,000 for labor, $20,000 for transportation, and $10,000 for food.
1. Set up (without solving) a linear system whose solution will represent the required production
schedule.
2. Solve the system of equations using matrices to find the production schedule that will meet
interindustry and consumer demand.
Question Four:
Answer the following questions showing your work:

1. Definition: Exponential Growth and Decay:
The function 𝑦 = 𝑦0 𝑒 𝑘 𝑥 , where 𝑘 is a nonzero constant, is a model for exponential growth if 𝑘 > 0
and a model for exponential decay if 𝑘 < 0.
𝑦0 is a constant that represents the value of the function when 𝑥 = 0.
Now, depending on the definition above, solve the following problem where you can use the graphical
calculator (or software) to help you find the final answers.
The population of Silver Run in the year 1890 was 6250. Assume the population increased at a rate
of 2.75% per year.
a. Estimate the population in 1915 and 1940.
b. Approximately when did the population reach 50,000?
2. Solve the following trigonometry equation:

sin 𝜃 + cos 𝜃 = 0

Question Five:
𝑥 2 +𝑥−2
Sketch the function 𝑓(𝑥) = using software verifying and explaining the following:
𝑥 2 −𝑥−6
1. The Domain and the Range.

2. Whether 𝑓(𝑥) is an even, odd or neither function. (Show your work)
3. Is 𝑓(𝑥) a one-to-one function? Explain.
4. X and Y intercepts.
5. Whether 𝑓(𝑥) has any vertical and/or horizontal asymptotes, (if yes, name them).
6. Is 𝑓(𝑥) invertible? If yes, verify a way to find its inverse?
7. Is there any hole in this function? If yes, where?
