2 The x-coefficient affects the slope or


gradient. The greater the coefficient
of x the steeper the graph towards
the y-axis. The lower the coefficient
of x the flatter the graph towards
the x-axis. When the coefficient is
negative, the graph slopes downward
when moving from left to right.

14 One x-intercept implies that the
turning point is on the x-axis.
Turning point for original equation:
y = 2x2 3x 2
3

= 2 ( x 2 x 1
2

2 3
9
9
= 2 x x + 1
2
16
16

3 25
= 2 x
4 16

3 25

= 2 x
4
8

So turning point is ( 34 , 25
8 )
For the TP to be on the x-axis, the
25
graph needs to be translated up
8
units. new turning point is ( 34 ,0).

Equation is:

y = 2 x
4

9
2 3
= 2 x x +
2
16

9
= 2 x2 3x +
8
15 y = 3(x + 2)2 4
Turning point of original is (2, 4)
2 points on original which are 4 units
apart are 2 units either side of axis of
symmetry, so their x-coordinates are
x = 2 2 = 4 and x = 2 + 2 = 0
When x = 4,
y = 3(4 + 2)2 4
= 3 4 4
= 12 4
= 16
Also, when x = 0, y = 16
So the parabola must be translated
16 units up so these points are
x-intercepts.
The rule for the new function is:
y = 3(x + 2)2 4 + 16
= 3(x +2)2 + 12
= 3(x2 + 4x + 4) + 12
= 3x2 12x 12 + 12
= 3x2 12x

We can estimate the y-intercept
(about 2.4 from the graph) and
substitute this point (0, 2.4) in

a = 5
4 a Equation: y = (x + a)2(x + b)2,
where a = b
y-int 81 = (x + a)2 (x a)2
81 = a2 (a)2
81 = a4
a=3
y = (x + 3)2(x 3)2
Alternatively y = (x + a)3(x + b)
and y-int 81 = (x + a)3(x a)
81 = a3 a
81 = a4
81 = a4
Cant be done
The same occurs for
y = (x + a)(a + b)3
So first equation is correct and
y = (x + 3)2(x 3)2
or, the equation is of the form
y = x4 + 81.
x int
0 = x4 + 81
x4 = 81
x = 4 81
x = 3, 3
y int
y = 81
This also satisfies the
requirements.
Following on from the above
solution, the general equation
y = kx4 + 81 (k > 0), would also
satisfy the requirements.
Another alternative is
y = (x 3)(x + 3)3.
y int:
y = (0 3)(0 + 3)3
= (3)(27)
x = 81
x int: x 3 = 0 or x + 3 = 0
x = 3, 3.
y = (x + 3)(x 3)3 would also
work
Another alternative is the general
equation y = k(x a)(x + a)3,
where k is a positive constant and
ka4 = 81.
Similarly y = k(x + a)(x a)3.
In addition, y = (x 3)2 (x + 3)2
could also have the general
answer of y = k(x a)2(x + a)2,
where k is a positive constant and
ka4 = 81
b The graph has turning points at
x = 3 and a y-intercept of 81.
y = (x + 3)2(x 3)2

or y = (x + 3)(x 3)3

or y = (x 3)(x + 3)3

5 Only c has two intercepts. The others


(a, b, d and e) have 4, 3, 3 and
1 intercepts respectively.
Answer is C.
6 The graph has x-intercepts at b and
c and a turning point at a.
y = (x + b)(x a)2(x c)
Answer is E.
7 y-intercept = (2)(1)(3)2
= (2)(9)
= 18
Answer is D.

D
As the intercept is at x = 2, there
must be a (x 2) bracket, and as the
graph only touches the x-axis at this
point it must be (x 2)2. Only
options D and E remain. Both
options have another x-intercept to
the left. This would indicate a
positive graph.
D
As the intercepts are (a, 0) and (b, 0),
the solutions to the brackets must be
x = a and x = b. The brackets from
which these solutions come are
(x a) and (x b). The polynomial is
degree 3 so the solution is
f(x) = (x a)(x b)2.
C
ax3 bx
= x(ax2 b)
= x ( ax b )( ax + b )
Therefore the factors are: x,
ax b , ax + b
E
From the graph, x-intercepts are 3,
1 and 4, therefore the rule is:
y = a(x + 3)(x 1)(x 4)

c i Domain {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}

x must be > 0 to start with
If x = 14
y = 36 14 10 = 36 24
y = 12
So the dimension y x is negative.
If x = 13
y = 36 13 10 = 13
yx=0
So x must be less than 13
So domain (0, 13)

EXAM PRACTICE 2
Short answer
1 This problem requires completing the
square to obtain the general rule for a
circle:
(x h)2 + (y k)2 = r2
x2 + 6x + y2 + 8y 24 = 0
x2 + 6x + 9 + y2 + 8y + 16 = 24 + 9 + 16
(need to balance equation)
(x + 3)2 + (y + 4)2 = 49

Circular functions

Therefore centre (3, 4) and radius 7 (ie: 72 = 49)

2 Students mistakenly substitute in the x values of the
restricted domain to determine the range. For functions other
than linear, it is important to determine if there are maximum
or minimum points within the restricted domain.
Lowest point when x = 1 (y = 0), and highest point at
TP (y = 2.25).
Range = [0, 2,25]
E
3 Students should be able to determine these types of questions
without reference to notes. For a many-to-one relationship, a
vertical line should only cross the graph at most once, but a
horizontal line can cross one or more times.

The rate of change is variable in
sections AD, because the shape
of the graph is changing. The rate
of change is constant in section E
because the graph is a straight
line.
The rate of change is positive in
sections AD, as the gradient is
positive. In section E, the rate of
change is zero (the graph is flat).
The rate of change is greatest
where the graph is steepest. D
The runner is moving slowest
when the gradient is most

All gradient graphs of quadratic functions are linear graphs.
The gradient function of a cubic is a quadratic function.
The gradient function of sin x is cos x, and the gradient
function of ex is ex.
6 Where the gradient function intersects the x axis, is a
stationary point on the original function.
7 When the gradient function is negative, this means that the

So the positiontime graph should


begin with a negative gradient,
which flatters to a zero gradient at

8 a The car is travelling at a constant


velocity of 20 m/s. The motion is
constant, because the graph does
not rise or fall.
b The car begins from rest (at the
point (0, 0) on the graph). The
velocity increases at a constant
rate for the first 15 s until it
reaches a velocity of 18 m/s. For
the remaining time, the car travels
at a constant velocity of 18 m/s.
c The car begins from rest and
increases its velocity at a constant
rate for 10 seconds. After
10 seconds it maintains a constant
velocity of 25 m/s for 15 seconds.
After this time the velocity of the
car decreases back to zero. It does
this at a constant rate over a
5 second period.

If x = 2, y = 0
So SP at (2, 0)
Type of SP:

If x = 2

x > 2, x = 1
f (x) = 3 (1)2 + 12 1 + 12

So SPs are at (1.08, 30.04) and (3.08, 6.04)
Consider SP at x = 1.08

a To find the time for minimum
volume, find the derivative and
equate it to zero.
dV
= 2.4t + 0.24t2
dt

2.4t + 0.24t2 = 0
0.24t(10 + t) = 0
So 0.24t = 0 or 10 + t = 0
t = 0 or t = 10
(t 0 because shower is turned on
and we require a minimum after
that)
So t = 10 minutes.
b To verify this is a minimum.
let t < 10, t = 5
dV

Let t > 10, t = 15
dV

So SP is a minimum
c Minimum volume is found by

V = 200 1.2t2 + 0.08t3
V = 200 1.2 102 + 0.08 103

Minimum volume = 160 litres
d If t = 0, V = 200 litres
So 200 = 200 1.2t2 + 0.08t3
or 0 = 1.2t2 + 0.08t3
0 = t2(1.2 + 0.08t)
t2 = 0 or 1.2 + 0.08t = 0

t = 0 or t = 0.08
So when t = 15 minutes the tank

P = 80 cm
Let L = length of rectangle
W = width of rectangle
P = perimeter of rectangle
A = area of rectangle
Now P = 2L + 2W
80 = 2(L + W)
or L + W = 40 so W = 40 L

Substitute for W into A:
A = L (40 L)
A = 40L L2

Asymptote is the x-axis, that is,


y = 0.

1 y = Aloga(x + b) + c
a A stretches the graph along the
y-axis.
As A increases, the graph becomes
steeper.
b a affects the steepness of the graph.
Larger values of a give flatter
graphs.
c b translates the graph horizontally.
For b > 0, translations are to the
left.
For b < 0, translations are to the
right.
d c translates the graph vertically.
For c > 0, translations are up.
