Paper 1 4. (a) gf : x → x2 + 6x + 2
gf (x) = x2 + 6x + 2
1. The relation in the given graph can be represented g(x + 4) = x2 + 6x + 2
using the following arrow diagram.
Let x + 4 = u
A B
x=u–4
1 10
2 20 g(u) = (u – 4)2 + 6(u – 4) + 2
3 30 = u2 – 8u + 16 + 6u – 24 + 2
4 40 = u2 – 2u – 6
∴ g(x) = x2 – 2x – 6

Based on the above arrow diagram,


(a) the object of 40 is 3,
[
(b) fg(4) = f 42 – 2(4) – 6 ]
= f(2)
(b) the type of the relation is many-to-many =2+4
relation. =6

(a) The above relation is a many-to-one relation. 2
5x – p
(b) The function which represents the above ∴ f (x) =
–1

relation is f(x) = x2. 2


5x + 3
3. f 2 (x) = ff (x) But it is given that f –1(x) =
q
= f (px + q) Hence, by comparison, p = –3, q = 2
= p (px + q) + q
= p2 x + pq + q

It is given that f 2 (x) = 4x + 9


By comparison,
p2 = 4 pq + q =9
p =–2 –2q + q =9
–q =9
q = –9
The question
requires p < 0.

Paper 2 2. (a) Let f –1(x) =y


f(y) =x

1. (a) f : x → –2 =x

hx y
f(x) = =x+2
x–3 2
y = 2(x + 2)
Let f –1(x) =y y = 2x + 4
f(y) =x ∴ f –1(x) = 2x + 4
hy
=x ∴ f –1(3) = 2(3) + 4
y–3 = 10
hy = x (y – 3)
hy = xy – 3x (b) f –1g(x) = f –1[g(x)]
3x = xy – hy = f –1(3x + k)
3x = y(x – h) = 2(3x + k) + 4
= 6x + 2k + 4
3x
y=
x–h But it is given that
∴ f –1 (x) =
3x f –1g : x → 6x – 4
x–h f –1g (x) = 6x – 4
Hence, by comparison,
kx
But it is given that f –1(x) =, x ≠ 2. 2k + 4 = –4
x–2
Hence, by comparison, h = 2 and k = 3. 2k = –8
k = –4
