  2. 2
    Let f(x)=x2f(x) = x^{2}. The graph of y=f(x)y = f(x) is reflected in the xx-axis and then translated 3 units in the positive xx-direction and 4 units in the positive yy-direction, to give the graph of y=g(x)y = g(x).
    (a)
    Find an expression for g(x)g(x).

  3. 3
    A company models its monthly profit, PP thousand dollars, from selling xx hundred items by P(x)=20−(x−6)2P(x) = 20 - (x - 6)^{2}, for 0≤x≤120 \le x \le 12. Next year a fixed extra cost of 4 thousand dollars per month is added, and nothing else changes. The new profit is Q(x)Q(x) thousand dollars.
    (a)
    Write down Q(x)Q(x) in terms of P(x)P(x), and describe the transformation that maps the graph of PP onto the graph of QQ. Hence find the maximum monthly profit next year and the number of items that gives it.
    [3 marks]
    (b)
    In a new market, the profit at every level of sales is 1.5 times the profit given by QQ. The new profit is R(x)=1.5 Q(x)R(x) = 1.5\,Q(x) thousand dollars. Describe the transformation that maps the graph of QQ onto the graph of RR, and find the range of the number of items the company must sell in the new market so that it does not make a loss.

  4. 4
    Let f(x)=exf(x) = e^{x}, x∈Rx \in \mathbb{R}. The graph of y=f(x)y = f(x) is transformed to the graph of y=g(x)y = g(x) by the following transformations, in this order: a horizontal stretch with scale factor 12\frac{1}{2}; then a reflection in the xx-axis; then a translation of 3 units in the positive yy-direction.
    (a)
    (i) Find an expression for g(x)g(x).
    (ii) Write down the equation of the horizontal asymptote of the graph of
    gg, and the range of gg.
    (iii) Find the exact
    xx-coordinate of the point where the graph of gg meets the xx-axis.
    [6 marks]
    (b)
    A student applies the same three transformations to the graph of y=f(x)y = f(x) in the reverse order: first the translation, then the reflection, then the horizontal stretch. The result is the graph of y=h(x)y = h(x).
    (i) Find an expression for
    h(x)h(x).
    (ii) Show that the graphs of
    y=g(x)y = g(x) and y=h(x)y = h(x) never meet.
    (iii) Describe fully a single transformation that maps the graph of
    y=h(x)y = h(x) onto the graph of y=g(x)y = g(x).
