Form 4: Chapter 1 Functions

Paper 1 4. (a) Let f 1(2) = y

f (y) = 2
1. A f(x) = x2 B 2y + 5 = 2
8 2y = 7
7 64
6 49 y =7

(b) Let g1(x) = y
(a) The image of 8 is 64. g (y) = x
(b) The range is {9, 36, 49, 64}. 1y+6 =x
(c) The relation is a many-to-one relation. 3
1y =x6
2. (a) fg(x) = 16 3
x y = 3x 18

3. gf(x) = x + 4 xk
y =
g 16 x + 3 = x + 4 3

1 y = 1x k
Let x+3=u 3 3
6
1 g 1(x) = 1 x k
x =u3 3 3
6
x = 6u 18 It is given that g 1(x) = mx 5
6
g(u) = (6u 18) + 4
Hence, by comparison,
= 6u 14
g(x) = 6x 14 m = 1 and k = 5 k = 5
