2. Which has a greater value 𝑜𝑟 ?
√𝑥 3 +1 √𝑥 3 −1

3. If 𝑥 > √𝑥𝑦 > 𝑦, deduce that 𝑥 > 𝑦 > 0.

4. Choose 𝑃 ⇒ 𝑄, 𝑄 ⇒ 𝑃, 𝑃 ⇔ 𝑄 or none of these for the following pairs of statement.


Statement P Statement Q
(i) 𝑥𝑦 = 0 𝑥 = 0 𝑜𝑟 𝑦 = 0
(ii) A is a square A is a rectangle
(iii) X is a healthy person X is breathing

(iv) (2𝑥 − 1)2 − 3𝑥 2 = 2( − 4𝑥) 𝑥 = 0 𝑜𝑟 𝑥 = −4
2
(v) 𝑥=2 3𝑥 − 4 = 2
(vi) 𝑥>2 𝑥2 > 4
(vi) 𝑥2 = 𝑥 𝑥=1
(vii) 3𝑥 + 8 ≥ 17 𝑥≥1
(viii) 𝑥 < −3 𝑥(𝑥 + 3) < 0
(ix) 𝑎>𝑏 𝑎𝑐 > 𝑏𝑐

Given the sentence P is _______ for Q, fill the blank for each of the above pair of statements
with the appropriate phrase “necessary”, “sufficient”, “both necessary and sufficient”, “neither
necessary nor sufficient”.

5. Fill in the blank with “if”, “only if” or “if and only if” for the following:
(i) 𝑥 = √4 _____ 𝑥 = 2.
(ii) 𝑥 2 > 0 _____ 𝑥 > 0.
(iii) 𝑥(𝑥 2 + 1) = 0 _____ 𝑥 = 0.
(iv) 𝑥 ∈ ℤ _____ 𝑥 ∈ ℝ
𝑑𝑓(𝑥)
(v) = 0 _____ 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑐
𝑑𝑥
𝑑𝑦
(vi) > 0 _____ y is strictly increasing with respect to x.
𝑑𝑥
(vii) lim𝑥→𝑎− 𝑓(𝑥) = lim𝑥→𝑎+ 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑎) _____ 𝑓(𝑥) is continuous at x = a
(viii) 𝑋 ⊆ 𝑌 _____ 𝑌 𝑐 ⊆ 𝑋 𝑐 where the c superscript refers to the complement of the set.
(ix) log 𝑥 < 0 _____ 0 < 𝑥 < 1

6. For the proposition 2𝑥 + 5 ≥ 13 to be true,


(i) is the condition 𝑥 ≥ 0, necessary sufficient or both
(ii) what if the condition is replaced by 𝑥 ≥ 50
(iii) what if the condition is replaced by 𝑥 ≥ 4.

7. Write the negation for the following statements:


(i) All crows are black
(ii) Some children are monkeys
(iii) given any 𝐾 > 0 there exists some 𝑥0 ∈ 𝑅 such that 𝑓(𝑥) > 𝐾 for all 𝑥 ≥ 𝑥0

8. The survey of 300 companies using different advertisement media, newspaper (N), radio (R)
and television (T) provides the following data:
n(N) = 200, n(R) = 100, n(T) = 40, 𝑛(𝑁 ∩ 𝑅) = 50, 𝑛(𝑅 ∩ 𝑇) = 20, 𝑛(𝑁 ∩ 𝑇) = 25 and
𝑛(𝑁 ∩ 𝑅 ∩ 𝑇) = 5.
(i) How many companies use none of these media?
(ii) How many companies use exactly one form of media?

9. Disprove (using venn diagrams and otherwise) that 𝐴\(𝐵\𝐶) = (𝐴\𝐵)\𝐶.

10. A survey reveals that 50 persons like coffee and 40 like tea. Thirty five liked both tea and
coffee, and 10 did not like either. How many persons responded to the survey?

11. Solve the following:


(i) |2𝑥 − 1| = |4𝑥 + 9|
(ii) |𝑥 2 − 1| ≤ 3
(iii) |5𝑥 − 8| ≤ 12
