Preface
This manual contains solutions/answers to all exercises in the text Precalculus:
Functions and Graphs, Thirteenth Edition, by Earl W. Swokowski and Jeffery A. Cole. A
Student's Solutions Manual is also available; it contains solutions for the odd-numbered exercises
in each section and for the Discussion Exercises, as well as solutions for all the exercises in the
Review Sections and for the Chapter Tests.
For most problems, a reasonably detailed solution is included. It is my hope that by
merely browsing through the solutions, professors will save time in determining appropriate
assignments for their particular class.
I appreciate feedback concerning errors, solution correctness or style, and manual style—
comments from professors using previous editions have greatly strengthened the ancillary package
as well as the text. Any comments may be sent directly to me at jeff-cole@[Link].
I would like to thank: Marv Riedesel and Mary Johnson for accuracy checking of the
new exercises; Andrew Bulman-Fleming, for manuscript preparation; Brian Morris and the late
George Morris, of Scientific Illustrators, for creating the mathematically precise art package; and
Laura Gallus, of Cengage Learning, for checking the manuscript. I dedicate this manual to Carly,
Eli, and Mason, my grandchildren.

To the Instructor
In the chapter review sections, the solutions are abbreviated since more detailed solutions
were given in chapter sections. In easier groups of exercises, representative solutions are shown.
When appropriate, only the answer is listed.
All figures have been plotted using computer software, offering a high degree of
precision. The calculator graphs are from various TI screens. When possible, we tried to make
each piece of art with the same scale to show a realistic and consistent graph.
This manual was prepared using ê: The Scientific Word Processor.
The following notations are used in the manual.
Note: Notes to the instructor/student pertaining to hints on instruction or conventions to follow.
{} { comments to the reader are in braces }
LS { Left Side of an equation }
RS { Right Side of an equation }
Ê { implies, next equation, logically follows }
Í { if and only if, is equivalent to }
ì { bullet, used to separate problem statement from solution or explanation }
æ { used to identify the answer to the problem }
§ { section references }
a { Example: aB means “for all B” }
‘ {+} { The set of all real numbers except +. }
... { therefore }

inside the absolute value symbol is positive or negative.

Since $ & œ # is negative, we conclude that if B $, then $ B is negative.
Hence, $ B œ $ B œ B $.

denominator a multiple of the index.

13 We recognize )B# "(B #" as a trinomial that may be able to be factored into the product of two binomials.

factoring trinomials, see Example 6 on page 48 of the text.
14 Using trial and error, we obtain (B# "!B ) œ (B %B #.
15 The factors for B# %B & would have to be of the form B and B .
The factors of & are " and &, but their sum is ' (not %). Thus, B# %B & is irreducible.

27 We could treat +' , ' as the difference of two squares or the difference of two cubes. Factoring +' , ' as the

29 We might first try to factor B# %B % *C# by grouping since it has more than $ terms, but this would prove to

that is, we mentally add the exponents on the factor B# %, "# and ", and we get "# , which is the exponent we

1.4 EXERCISES 23
Note: The following guidelines may be helpful when solving radical equations.
Guidelines for Solving a Radical Equation
(1) Isolate the radical. If we cannot get the radical isolated on one side of the equals sign because there is more
than one radical, then we will split up the radical terms as evenly as possible on each side of the equals sign.
For example, if there are two radicals, we put one on each side; if there are three radicals, we put two on
one side and one on the other.
(2) Raise both sides to the same power as the root index. Note: Remember here that
+ , 8# œ +# #+, 8 , # 8
and that + , 8 is not +# , # 8.
#
(3) If your equation contains no radicals, proceed to part (4). If there are still radicals in the equation, go back
to part (1).
(4) Solve the resulting equation.
(5) Check the answers found in part (4) in the original equation to determine the valid solutions.
Note: You may check the solutions in any equivalent equation of the original equation, that is, an equation
which occurs prior to raising both sides to a power. Also, extraneous real number solutions are introduced
when raising both sides to an even power. Hence, all solutions must be checked in this case. Checking
solutions when raising each side to an odd power is up to the individual professor.

+ #+, , will equal + , only if #+, œ !. The expression #+, equals zero only if either + œ ! or , œ !.
# # # #
3 We first need to determine the term that needs to be added and subtracted. Since #& œ &# , it makes sense to add and
subtract # † &B œ "!B. Then we will obtain the square of a binomial—i.e.,
B# "!B #& "!B œ B &# "!B. We can now factor this expression as the difference of two squares,

#

6 œ œ . Evaluating the original expression and the simplified expression

with any B Á „ # gives us the same value. This evaluation does not prove that the expressions are equal for any
value of B other than the one selected. The simplification proves that the expressions are equal for all values of B
except B œ #.
7 Follow the algebraic simplification given.
(1) Write down his/her age. Denote the age by B.
(2) Multiply it by #. #B
(3) Add &. #B &

(6) Add hisÎher height (in inches). "!!B ""& C, where C is the height
(7) Add ""&. "!!B ""& C ""& œ "!!B C
As a specific example, suppose the age is #" and the height is '). The number obtained by following the steps is
"!!B C œ #"') and we can see that the first two digits of the result equal the age and the last two digits equal the
height.

(ii) Next, we must determine the temperature X œ XF at the cloud base. From (i),

the height of the cloud base is L œ G œ #(#% and XF œ K L œ )! † #(#% œ '&Þ!")°F.

15 The first equation, #B $ B & œ !, is a sum of square roots that is equal to !. The only way this could be
$ '
true is if both radicals are actually equal to !. It is easy to see that B & is equal to ! only if B œ &, but & will
not make #B $ equal to !, so there is no reason to try to solve the first equation.
On the other hand, the second equation, $
#B $ $
B & œ !, can be written as $
#B $ œ
$
B &. This
just says that one cube root is equal to the negative of another cube root, which could happen since a cube root can
be negative. Solving this equation gives us #B $ œ B & Ê $B œ # Ê B œ #$ .

(b) If it’s all taxed at 20%, then the tax rate is 20%, which is greater than the tax rate in part (a).
(c) Note that the taxpayer in part (a) has only 10% of his/her total income subject to the 35% rate, and 90% at the
15% rate, so it makes sense that the federal income tax rate gets close to 15%. The “federal income tax rate” is
a misnomer in this case since the rate is calculated on taxes other than income taxes. In a sense, we are
comparing apples and oranges. If we really wanted to get these tax rates in “proper proportion,” we could do
so by raising the captial gains rate to $&%. Every year you will hear the “rich people pay less in taxes”
statement, but it usually refers to a situation similar to parts (a) and (b).
