4 a The graph is increasing so b is positive.
dy
The line y = 5 is an asymptote, so = 2 × 7e2x = 14e2x
C = 5. dx
When x = 0, 6 = Aeb × 0 + C = A + 5, so
A = 1. d y = 5e0.4x
dy
= 0.4 × 5e0.4x = 2e0.4x
b The graph is decreasing so b is dx
negative.
The line y = 0 is an asymptote, so e y = e3x + 2ex
C = 0. dy
= 3e3x + 2ex
When x = 0, 4 = Aeb × 0 + C = A + 0, dx
so A = 4.
f y = ex(ex + 1) = e2x + ex
c The graph is increasing so b is positive. dy
= 2e2x + ex
The line y = 2 is an asymptote, so dx
C = 2.
When x = 0, 8 = Aeb × 0 + C = A + 2, 7 a y = e3x
so A = 6. dy
= 3e3x
dx
5 f(x) = e3x + 2 When x = 2,
= e3x × e2 dy
= e2e3x = 3e3 × 2 = 3e6
dx
A = e2 and b = 3

7 b When x = 0, 8 f(x) = e0.2x
dy fʹ(x)= 0.2e0.2x
= 3e3 × 0 = 3 The gradient of the tangent when x = 5
dx
is fʹ(5) = 0.2e0.2 × 5 = 0.2e
c When x = −0.5, f(5) = e0.2 × 5 = e
dy The equation of the tangent in the form
= 3e3 × −0.5 = 3e−1.5 y = mx + c
dx
is e = 0.2e × 5 + c
e=e+c
so c = 0
Therefore the tangent to the curve at
the point (5, c) is in the form y = mx.
Thus it so goes through the origin.
