1. **Problem:** Find the points of discontinuity for the function $f(x) = \frac{5}{x^2 - 7x + 12}$.
2. **Formula and rules:** The function is discontinuous where the denominator is zero because division by zero is undefined.
3. **Find zeros of the denominator:**
$$x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0$$
Factor the quadratic:
$$ (x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 $$
So, $x = 3$ or $x = 4$.
4. **Conclusion:** The function is discontinuous at $x=3$ and $x=4$.
5. **Answer:** The set of discontinuities is $\{3, 4\}$ which corresponds to option b).
2. **Problem:** Calculate the limit
$$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin 9x - \sin 7x^2}{3x}$$
3. **Formula and rules:** Use the limit property $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin ax}{x} = a$ and linearity of limits.
4. **Evaluate:**
Rewrite numerator using limit properties:
$$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin 9x}{3x} - \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin 7x^2}{3x}$$
First term:
$$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin 9x}{3x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin 9x}{9x} \cdot \frac{9x}{3x} = 1 \cdot 3 = 3$$
Second term:
$$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin 7x^2}{3x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin 7x^2}{x^2} \cdot \frac{x^2}{3x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin 7x^2}{7x^2} \cdot 7 \cdot \frac{x}{3} = 1 \cdot 7 \cdot 0 = 0$$
5. **Result:**
$$3 - 0 = 3$$
6. **Answer:** Option a).
3. **Problem:** Find the fourth derivative of $y = \ln 3$.
4. **Explanation:** $\ln 3$ is a constant because 3 is a constant number.
5. **Derivatives:**
The derivative of a constant is zero, so all derivatives including the fourth derivative are zero.
6. **Answer:** Option d) 0.
4. **Problem:** Given
$$\int_3^7 f(x) dx = -5$$
Find
$$\int_7^3 f(x) dx$$
5. **Rule:** Reversing the limits of integration changes the sign:
$$\int_a^b f(x) dx = -\int_b^a f(x) dx$$
6. **Apply:**
$$\int_7^3 f(x) dx = -\int_3^7 f(x) dx = -(-5) = 5$$
7. **Answer:** Option b).
5. **Problem:** Given
$$f(x) = x^4 + 3x^2 + 7$$
with
$$f'(x) = 4x^3 + 6x$$
$$f''(x) = 12x^2 + 6 > 0$$
Determine the concavity of $f$.
6. **Explanation:** Since $f''(x) = 12x^2 + 6$ is always positive for all real $x$ (because $12x^2 \geq 0$ and $6 > 0$), the function is concave up everywhere.
7. **Answer:** Option d) مقعرة لأعلى على ℝ (concave up on all real numbers).
