Explain why or why not Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample.
- a. The variable y = t + 1 doubles in value whenever t increases by 1 unit.
- b. The function y = Ae0.1t increases by 10% when t increases by 1 unit.
- c. ln xy = (ln x)(ln y).
- d. sinh (lnx)=x2−12x.
a.

To explain: Whether the statement “The variable y=t+1 doubles in value whenever t increases by 1 unit” is true or false.
Explanation of Solution
Suppose t=2, the value of y becomes,
y=2+1=3
If t is increased by 1 unit, t=3,
y=2+1=3
Hence, the value of y will not be doubled whenever t increases by 1 unit.
Therefore, the given statement is false.
b.

To explain: Whether the statement “The function y=Ae0.1t increases by 10% when t increases by 1 unit” is true or false.
Explanation of Solution
Suppose t=2, then
y1=Ae0.1×2=Ae0.2≈1.221A
If t is increased by 1 unit, that is t=3,
y2=Ae0.1×3=Ae0.3≈1.35A
Hence, the percentage increase of both values is approximately 10.57%.
Therefore, the given statement is false.
c.

To explain: Whether the statement lnxy=(lnx)(lny) is true or false.
Explanation of Solution
Consider the equation lnxy=(lnx)(lny).
Suppose x=2 and y=3.
Compute the value of lnxy.
ln(2×3)=ln6≈1.791
Compute the value of (lnx)(lny).
(lnx)(lny)=(ln2)(ln3)=0.693×1.09≈0.762
Clearly, ln6≠(ln2)(ln3).
Therefore, the given statement is false.
d.

To explain: Whether the statement sinh(lnx)=x2−12x is true or false.
Explanation of Solution
Compute sinh(lnx) as follows.
sinh(lnx)=elnx−e−lnx2 [∵sinhx=ex−e−x2]=elnx−elnx−12 [∵lnxa=alnx]=x−1x2 [∵elnx=x]=x2−12x
Hence, sinh(lnx)=x2−12x.
Therefore, the given statement is true.
