Q7.
[Maximum Mark: 12]

(a) Describe a transformation which transforms the graph of 𝑦 = ln (𝑥 + 2) to

the graph of 𝑦 = ln (𝑥 % + 4𝑥 + 4). [2]

(b) State asymptotes and 𝑥-intercepts for both the above functions. [4]

(c) The graph of the function 𝑦 = 𝑔(𝑥) has been translated and then reflected in the
𝑥-axis to produce the graph of 𝑦 = ℎ(𝑥).

(i) State the translation vector. [2]

(ii) If 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥 " − 2𝑥 + 5, find constants 𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐, 𝑑 such that

ℎ(𝑥) = 𝑎 𝑥 " + 𝑏𝑥 % + 𝑐𝑥 + 𝑑 [4]
