1- C
METHOD ONE
$$log_4⁡(x+2) – log_4⁡(x-2) = 1$$
Add$$\space log_4⁡(x-2)$$to both sides
$$log_4⁡(x+2) – log_4⁡(x-2)+ log_4⁡(x-2)= 1 + log_4⁡(x-2)$$
$$log_4⁡(x+2) = 1 + log_4⁡(x-2)$$
Apply logarithm rule:
$$a = log_b⁡(b^a) ⇒ 1 = log_4⁡(4^1) = log_4⁡(4)$$
$$then: log_4⁡(x+2) = log_4⁡(4) + log_4⁡(x-2)$$
$$Logarithm \space rule: log_c⁡(a) + log_c⁡(b) = log_c⁡(ab)$$
$$then: log_4⁡(4) + log_4⁡(x-2) = log_4⁡(4(x-2))$$
$$log_4⁡(x+2) = log_4⁡(4(x-2))$$
When the logs have the same base:
$$log_b⁡(f(x)) = log_b⁡(g(x)) ⇒ f(x) = g(x) (x+2) = 4(x-2)$$
$$x = \frac{10}{3}$$
METHOD TWO
We know that:
$$log_a⁡b-log_a⁡c=log_a\frac{b}{c}⁡\space and \space log_a⁡b=c⇒b=a^c$$
$$Then: log_4⁡(x+2)- log_4⁡(x-2)=log_4\frac{(x + 2)}{(x – 2)}⁡=1⇒\frac{(x + 2)}{(x-2)}=4^1=4⇒x+2=4(x-2)⇒x+2=4x-8⇒4x-x=8+2→3x=10⇒x=\frac{10}{3}$$

2- B
$$e^{(5x + 1 )}= 10$$
$$If \space f(x) = g(x), then \space ln(f(x)) = ln(g(x))$$
$$ln⁡(e^{(5x + 1 )})= ln(10)$$
Apply logarithm rule:
$$log_a⁡(x^b) = b log_a⁡(x)$$
$$ln⁡(e^{(5x + 1 )})= (5x + 1)ln(e)$$
$$(5x + 1)ln(e) = ln(10)$$
$$(5x + 1)ln(e) = (5x + 1)$$
$$(5x + 1) = ln(10)$$
$$⇒x = \frac{ln⁡(10) – 1}{5}$$

3- C
$$f(x) = x –\frac{5}{3}⇒ y = x – \frac{5}{3}⇒ y+ \frac{5}{3}=x$$
$$f^{-1 }= x+ \frac{5}{3}$$
$$f ^{–1}(5) = 5 +\frac{5}{3}=\frac{20}{3}$$

4- C
cos$$30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$$

5- C

sin$$θ=\frac{3}{5}$$⇒ we have following triangle, then:
$$c=\sqrt {(5^2-3^2 )}=\sqrt{(25-9)}=\sqrt 16=4$$
cos$$θ=\frac{4}{5}$$

6- B
$$-2x- y = -9$$
$$5x-2y= 18$$
⇒ Multiplication $$(–2)$$ in first equation
$$4x +2y =18$$
$$5x-2y= 18$$
Add two equations together ⇒$$9x =36 ⇒ x= 4$$ then: $$y = 1$$

7- C
$$|9 – (12 ÷ | 2 – 5 |)| = |(9-(12÷|-3|))|=|9-(12÷3)|=|9-4|=|5|=5$$

8- D
METHOD ONE
$$log_2⁡x = 5$$
Apply logarithm rule:$$a = log_b⁡(b^a)$$
$$5 = log_2⁡(2^5) = log_2⁡(32)$$
$$log_2⁡x = log_2⁡(32)$$
When the logs have the same base: $$log_b⁡(f(x)) = log_b⁡(g(x))⇒ f(x) = g(x)$$
then: $$x = 32$$
METHOD TWO
We know that:
$$log_a⁡b=c⇒b=a^c$$
$$log_2⁡x=5⇒x=2^5=32$$

9- D
$$\frac{x^3}{16}$$
⇒ reciprocal is : $$\frac{16}{x^3}$$

10- A
$$f(x) = ln (2x + 1)$$
$$y = ln (2x + 1)$$
Change variables$$x$$ and $$y: x = ln (2y + 1)$$
$$solve: x = ln (2y + 1)$$
$$y = \frac{e^{x}-1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}(e^{x} – 1)$$
