A function f is defined by f(x)= −1 − √x + 3 for x ≥ −3.
4d. Find the coordinates of the point(s) where the graphs of y = f(x) and [5 marks]
y = f −1 (x) intersect.
Let f(x)= mx2 − 2mx, where x ∈ R and m ∈ R. The line y = mx − 9 meets the
graph of f at exactly one point.
The function f can be expressed in the form f(x)= 4(x − p)(x − q), where
p, q ∈ R.
The function f can also be expressed in the form f(x)= 4(x − h)2 + k, where
h, k ∈ R.
