th car cannot go

fast enough to average 30 mi/h for the 2-mile trip.

. Let us start with a given price P. After a discount of 40%, the price decreases to 0.6P. After a discount of 20%, the price
decreases to 0.8P, and after another 20% discount, it becomes 0.8 (0.8P) = 0.64P. Since 0.6P < 0.64P, a 40% discount
is better. .

. We continue the pattern. Three parallel cuts produce 10 piecés. Thus, each new cut produces an additional 3 pieces. Since
the first cut produces 4 pieces, we get the formula f (n) = 4+ 3(n—1),n > 1. Since f (142) = 4 +3 (141) = 427, we
see that 142 parallel cuts produce 427 pieces.

. By placing two amoebas into the vessel, we skip the first simple division which took 3 minutes. Thus when we place two
amoebas into the vessel, it will take 60 — 3 = 57 minutes for the vessel to be full of amoebas.

. The statement is false. Here is one particular counterexample:


Player A Player B
First half 1 hit in 99 at-bats: average = a 0 hit in 1 at-bat: average =
Second half 1 hit in | at-bat: average = + 98 hits in 99 at-bats: average = 3
Entire season 2 hits in 100 at-bats: average = Fi 99 hits in 100 at-bats: average = =

. Method 1: After the exchanges, the volume of liquid in the pitcher and in the cup is the same as it was to begin with. Thus,
any coffee in the pitcher of cream must be replacing an equal amount of cream that has ended up in the coffee cup.
Method 2: Alternatively, look at the drawing of the spoonful of coffee and cream
mixture being returned to the pitcher of cream. Suppose it is possible to separate
the cream and the coffee, as shown. Then you can see that the coffee going into the
_ cream occupies the same volume as the cream that was left in the coffee.

Method 3 (an algebraic approach): Suppose the cup of coffee has y spoonfuls of coffee. When one spoonful of cream
creams coffee y
is added to the coffee cup, the resulting mixture has the following ratios: - = — and — = :
mixture y+1 mixture y+]
: fe : . 1
So, when we remove a spoonful of the mixture and put it into the pitcher of cream, we are really removing sy ofa
Mi
spoonful of cream and * i spoonful of coffee. Thus the amount of cream left in the mixture (cream in the coffee) is
y
- a8 Sef a spoonful. This is the same as the amount of coffee we added to the cream.

. Let r be the radius of the earth in feet. Then the circumference (length of the ribbon) is 277. When we increase the radius
by 1 foot, the new radius is r + 1, so the new circumference is 27 (r + 1). Thus you need 27 (r + 1) — 27r = 27 extra
feet of ribbon.

8. The north pole is such a point. And there are others: Consider a point a; near the south pole such that the parallel passing
through a; forms a circle C; with circumference exactly one mile. Any point P; exactly one mile north of the circle Cy
along a meridian is a point satisfying the conditions in the problem: starting at P; she walks one mile south to the point a;
on the circle C), then one mile east along C; returning to the point a,, then north for one mile to P;. That’s not all. Ifa
point a2 (or a3, a4, a5, ...) is chosen near the south pole so that the parallel passing through it forms a circle C2 (C3, C4,
Cs, ...) with a circumference of exactly 5 mile ( imi, ‘ mi, t mi, ...), then the point P (P3, P4, Ps, ....) one mile north
of az (a3, a4, a5, ...) along a meridian satisfies the conditions of the problem: she walks one mile south from P (P3, P4,
Ps, ...) arriving at a2 ( a3, a4, a5, ...) along the circle Cz (C3, C4, Cs, ...), walks east along the circle for one mile thus
traversing the circle twice (three times, four times, five times, .. .) returning to a2 (a3, a4, a5, ...), and then walks north one

1. Using this model, we find that if S = 12, L = 4S = 4(12) = 48. Thus, 12 sheep have 48 legs.
3. If x = $120 and T = 0.06x, then T = 0.06 (120) = 7.2. The sales tax is $7.20. .
5. Ifo = 70, t = 3.5, and d = ot, thend = 70 - 3.5 = 245. The car has traveled 245 miles.

11. (a) (b) We know that P = 30 and we want to find d, so we solve-the
equation 30 = 14.7 + 0.45d = 15.3 = 0.45d &
0.45 (0) + 14.7 = 14.7 jPeys!
s d = —— = 34.0. Thus, if the pressure is 30 Ib/in’, the depth

0.45 (20) + 14.7 = 23.7 is 34 ft.
0.45 (30) + 14.7 = 28.2
0.45 (40) + 14.7 = 32.7
0.45 (50) + 14.7 = 37.2
0.45 (60) + 14.7 = 41.7
13. The number N of cents in g quarters is N = 25q.
15. The cost C of purchasing x gallons of gas at $3.50 a gallon is C = 3.5x.
17. The distance d in miles that a car travels in ¢ hours at 60 mi/h is d = 60¢.
19. (a) $12 +3 ($1) = $12 + $3 = $15
(b) The cost C, in dollars, of a pizza with n toppings is C = 12 +n.
(c) Using the model C = 12 +n with C = 16, we get 16 = 12 +n <n =4. So the pizza has four toppings.
21. (a) (ji) For an all-electric car, the energy cost of driving x miles is Ce = 0.04x.
(ii) For an average gasoline powered car, the energy cost of driving x miles is Cg = 0.12x.
(b) (i) The cost of driving 10,000 miles with an all-electric car is Ce = 0.04 (10,000) = $400.
(ii) The cost of driving 10,000 miles with a gasoline powered car is Cg = 0.12 (10,000) = $1200.

5) 6150 1007 57.5/5/ 5... > x = 0.9797... <> 99x = 57. Thus,x = a = R.

79. 7 > 3,so|7 —3| = 7-3. 81.a < b,sola—b| =-—(a—b)=b


83. (a) —a is negative because a is positive.
(b) bc is positive because the product of two negative numbers is positive.
(c) a — ba + (—b) is positive because it is the sum of two positive numbers.
(d) ab +ac is negative: each summand is the product of a positive number and a negative number, and the sum of two
negative numbers is negative.
85. Distributive Property
87. (a) When L = 60,x = 8, and y= 6, we have L + 2(x + y) = 60 +2 (8+6) = 60+28 = 88. Because 88 < 108 the
post office will accept this package.
When L = 48, x = 24, and y = 24, we have L+2(x + y)= ST Amara= 48 + 96 = 144, and since
144 < 108, the post office will not accept this package.
(b) Ifx = y = 9, then L +2(9+9) < 108 L +36 < 108 SL < 72. So the length can be as long as 72 in. = 6 ft.
89. 4 + ,/2 is irrational. If it were rational, then by Exercise 6(a), the sum (3+ V2) 4 (-2) = ./2 would be rational, but
this is not the case.
Similarly, $ - 2 is irrational.
(a) Following the hint, suppose that r + ¢ = q, a rational number. Then by Exercise 6(a), the sum of the two rational
numbers r + ¢ and —,r is rational. But (r + t) + (—r) = t, which we know to be irrational. This is a contradiction, and
hence our original premise—that r + ¢ is rational—was false.

r HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION. Amid so mucli that is
mythic, uncertain, or matter of controversy, in the early history of
Scotland, it may be held as unquestionable that the Scots, from
whom the country took its name, had their original seat in Ireland,
from whence they migrated to Scotland ; and that a line of kings of
Scottish race ruled in this country from the middle of the ninth to the
early part of the eleventh centuries. The era of the establishment of
this Scottish dynasty was the year 850, and it t^-^minated, by the
death of the last king of Scottish race, ^a the year 1034. It is under
this line of Scottish kings that we can trace the rise and gradual
formation of the Scottish monarchy, and that we find the first
appearance of those ancient chronicles professing to give the
succession, and chronology, of the earlier kings, supposed to have
reigned in Scotland prior to the establishment of this dynasty. The
direct rule of this line of kings of Scottish descent, and the main seat
of their government, was confined to the districts extending from the
Firth of Forth to the river Spey. Beyond the river Spey, on the north,
lay the extensive district termed Moravia, comprehending the
modern counties of Elgin, Nairn, Inverness, and
XXX HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION. the eastern part of
Eoss-shire. On the west, and separated from these districts by the
great chain of Drumalban or the backbone of Scotland, was Ergadia,
Ea7'ragaidhel or Argyle, extending from the Firth of Clyde and Loch
Long in the south to the point of Coigeach and Loch Enard in the
north-west corner of Eoss-shire, and forming the western seaboard
of Scotland. Over these districts, the kings of this race may have had
a nominal sway, but they do not seem to have been incorporated
with their proper kingdom. The districts lying to the south of this
kingdom consisted, on the west, of the kingdom of Cumbria or
Strathclyde, extending from the Firth of Clyde to the river Derwent in
Cumberland, and on the east, of the northern parts of Northumbria,
which, from the Firth of Forth to the river Tweed, bore the name of
Lodoneia or Lothian. The first four kings of this race,^ viz., Kenneth
mac Alpin, the founder of the dynasty, his brother, and his two sons,
though of Scottish descent, are termed in the Irish Annals *Eeges
Pictorum,' and, in the oldest chronicle, the districts under their direct
rule are termed 'Pictavia.' There is then a break in the line, when
Eocha, the son of Eun, king of the Britons of Strathclyde, and
grandson of Kenneth by a daughter, reigns jointly along with Grig,
whose descent is unknown. The male line is again established in the
person of Donald, a grandson of Kenneth by his eldest son, and the
remaining kings of this dynasty are termed in the Irish Annals * Ei
Albain,' the Irish equivalent of * Eeges Albanise/ while, in the same
chro^ A table of the kings of this Scottish dynasty will be found in
the Notes, p. 421.
HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION. XXXI nicle, the name of
Albania is now applied to their kingdom. Under Constantine, the
second of the kings termed ' Ki Alban/ his brother was elected king
of Cumbria, which placed the Scottish race on the throne of that
British kingdom ; and upon Malcolm, his successor, the kingdom of
Cumbria or Strathclyde was bestowed in 946, by Edmund, king of
Wessex, who had conquered it in that year. His successor, Indulph,
added the district extending from Stirling to Edinburgh. Kenneth, the
son of Malcolm, who reigned from 971 to 995, is said by some of the
English historians to have acquired Lothian, but the statement is of
doubtful authority. In his reign, however, was compiled the oldest of
the Chronicles we now possess, viz., that usually termed the Pictish
Chronicle. His son Malcolm was the last king of this race. He reigned
from 1004 to 1034, and he certainly acquired from Eadulf Cudel, Earl
of Northumbria, as the result of a battle fought in 1018, the northern
districts of that Earldom, comprehended under the names of
Lodoneia and Tevethdale, or Lothian and Teviotdale. In his reign,
between the years 1014 and 1023, was compiled the Synchronisms
of Flann Mainistrech or Flann the Ferleighin of the monastery called
Mainister Boice, who died in 1056. This work contains a list of the
kings of Ireland, synchronized with tie provincial kings, and with
those of foreign countries, and among them are the kings who ruled
in Scotland. In the same reign was born, in the year 1028, the
chronicler Marianus Scotus, who was thus almost a contemporary
writer, and he
XXXU HISTOKICAL INTEODUCTION. terms Malcolm ^rex
Scotiae.'^ He was thus the first king to whom this title was applied ;
and the districts which formed his kingdom proper, and which had
previously been termed, first, Pictavia, and afterwards Albania, now
usually appear under the designation of ' Albania, quae modo Scotia
vocatur/ They are however still distinguished from Moravia, on the
north, Ergadia or Argyle on the west, and Lothian and Cumbria, or
Strathclyde, on the south. Malcolm was thus the first king who bears
the title of ' rex Scotise/ Prior to his reign, the name of Scotia had
not been applied to the whole, or to any part, of the kingdom of
Scotland, but was held to belong exclusively to Ireland. Fordun is
probably reporting a genuine tradition when he states that, towards
the end of this dynasty, an alteration had been made in the law of
succession. The succession to the throne had hitherto been
regulated by the Irish law of tanistry, which limited it strictly to
males, and preferred even an illegitimate male to a female. By this
law, the senior male capable of ruling was chosen in preference to
the direct descendant, a rule which placed brothers on the throne
before sons, and it appears to have assumed a form not unusual in
Ireland, where the succession was vested in two families, and
passed alternately from the one to the other. These families were
descended from the two sons of Kenneth mac Alpin, the founder of
the dynasty, as we]] as its first king. An attempt seems to have been
^ A.D. 1034, Moelcoluim Rex ScotisD obiit 7 kal. Decembr. — Chron.
Picts and Scots, p. 65.
HISTORICAL IXTRODUCTION. XXXIU made, after the death
of the second of his two sons, to introduce the son of a sister, even
though of a different race (Eocha son of Eun, king of the Britons of
Strathclyde by the daughter of Kenneth), according to the Pictish law
of succession, which preferred the sons of sisters in preference to
the brothers' sons ; but after his reign the male line was firmly
established by the accession of Donald, followed by Constantin, the
grandsons of Kenneth by his two sons. Fordun states that this old
law of succession lasted till the time of Malcolm, the last king of the
race, " when, for fear of the dismemberment of the kingdom, which
might perhaps result therefrom, that king, by a general ordinance,
decreed, as a law for ever, that thenceforth each king, after his
death, should be succeeded in the government of the kingdom by
whoever was, at the time being, the next descendant, that is, a son
or a daughter, a nephew or a niece, the nearest then living. Failing
these, however, the next heir begotten of the royal or collateral stock
should possess the right of inheritance."^ If such an alteration ever
were formally made, it was in fact a substitution of the Teutonic for
the Celtic law of succession, and the increasing influence of Saxon
institutions, or the anticipation of a failure of the dynasty in the male
line, may have led to its introduction. Malcolm was the last king of
this line, and appears to have been the last legitimate male
descendant of Kenneth mac Alpin, the founder of the dynasty ; and
the recent acquisition of Lothian with its Saxon population may have
rendered such an alteration necessary, as the only means ^ B. iv.

XXxiv HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION. of maintaining the
integrity of the kingdom. He had two daughters, one married to
Crinan, the lay abbot of Dunkeld, by whom she had a son, Duncan ;
the other to Sigurd, the Norwegian Earl of Orkney, by whom she had
a son Thorfinn, afterwards Earl of Orkney. On his death, Malcolm
was succeeded by his grandson Duncan; but a war immediately
arose between him and Thorfinn, who probably claimed half the
kingdom in right of his mother. This war ended in the establishment
of the power 'of Thorfinn over the northern provinces, which he
maintained for thirty years, and in the death of Duncan, who was
slain in 1040 by Macbeth, who succeeded him on the throne of
Scotland, and reigned seventeen years. Marianus Scotus, a
contemporary writer, calls Macbeth the commander of Duncan s
troops {pcciditur a duce suo Macbethad)j but it appears, from the
Irish Annals, that he was of the race of the Celtic Mormaers of
Moray, one of the provinces subjected by Thorfinn. It is probable,
therefore, that he had committed this act of treachery in Thorfinn's
interest, and was placed by him on the throne of the southern half
of the kingdom. Cumbria and Lothian with their British and Anglic
populations no doubt adhered to the fortunes of the family of
Duncan, and an invasion of Scotland by Siward the Earl of
Northumbria in 1054 prepared the way for the accession of Malcolm,
the eldest son of Duncan, who, four years afterwards, drove out and
slew Macbeth, and his successor Lulach, a member of the same
family. Malcolm, surnamed Canmore, reigned thirty-five years, from
1058 to 1093. His kingdom was nearly CO -extensive with the
modern kingdom of Scotland, and he seems, during his reign, to
have maintained his power
HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION. XXXV over all the different
races which formed its population. This probably resulted from the
peculiar advantages which he possessed, and from the union in his
person of qualities, which commended to each his claim to the
throne. His pedigree in the male line cannot be pushed further back
than his grandfather Crinan, but there are indications that Crinan
was of Cumbrian descent, while his position as abbot of Dunkeld
must have secured for his descendants the powerful support of the
Church. Through his grandmother, Malcolm represented the Scottish
line of kings. Through his mother, who was a sister of Siward Earl of
Northumberland, he was connected with those powerful Earls, and
soon after his accession he married Ingibiorg, widow of Thorfinn Earl
of Orkney, which must have conciliated the Norwegian population of
the north, while his second wife was Margaret, the sister of Edgar
^theling, the last scion of the Saxon royal family. There is little
indication, therefore, of discontent on the part of any of the different
races under his rule. His reign adds some further documents
throwing light on the earlier history of Scotland. In the early paii: of
his reign, in the year 1072, died Gillacaemhan, who translated the
Latin work of Nennius into Irish, and made considerable additions to
it, taken from both Irish and Pictish sources. He is also, in all
probability, the author of the historical poem usually termed the
Albanic Duan, which bears to have been compiled while Malcolm was
king.^ Towards ^ Maolcoluim is now the king, Son of Bonnchad, the
