. Using this sumtoproduct identity, we have each grouped sum equal to 0, since
sin

= sin = 0 is always a factor of the right side. Since sin
100
100
= sin = 0 and sin
200
100
= sin2 = 0, the
sum of the given expression is 0.
Another approach: Since the sine function is odd, sin(−) = −sin. Because the period of the sine function is 2, we have
sin(− + 2) = −sin. Multiplying each side by −1 and rearranging, we have sin = −sin(2 − ). This means that

Each sum in parentheses is 0 since the two terms are opposites, and the last two terms again reduce to sin and sin2,
respectively, each also 0. Thus, the value of the original expression is 0.

CHAPTER 1 PRINCIPLESOF PROBLEMSOLVING
15. ln 2 − 2 − 2 ≤ 0 ⇒ 2 − 2 − 2 ≤ 0 = 1 ⇒ 2 − 2 − 3 ≤ 0 ⇒ ( − 3)( + 1) ≤ 0 ⇒ ∈ [−13].
Since the argument must be positive, 2 − 2 − 2 0 ⇒

16. Assume that log 2 5 is rational. Then log 2 5 = for natural numbers and . Changing to exponential form gives us
2 = 5 and then raising both sides to the th power gives 2 = 5 . But 2 is even and 5 is odd. We have arrived at a
contradiction, so we conclude that our hypothesis, that log 2 5 is rational, is false. Thus, log 2 5 is irrational.
17. Let be the distance traveled on each half of the trip. Let 1 and 2 be the times taken for the first and second halves of the trip.
For the first half of the trip we have 1 = 30 and for the second half we have 2 = 60. Thus, the average speed for the
entire trip is
