1. Given

1.1 Draw a sketch graph of f and clearly show the y-intercept

and one other point on the curve of f. [3]
1.2 Write down the range of f [1]
1.3 If , the inverse of f, write down the equation of g in
the form y = ... [2]
1.4 On the same system of axes as 1.1 draw a sketch graph
of g, clearly showing the intercept and one other point on
the curve of g. [3]
1.5 If h is the mirror image of f in the y-axis, write down the
equation of h in the form h(x) = ... [2] 11

2. The graph of is
shown alongside. B (⅓; –1) lies p
on the graph.

2.1 Calculate the value of a [2]

2.2 Write down the co-ordinates
of C, the x-intercept of p [2]
2.3 Determine the equation of m,
the reflection of p in the
x-axis. Write your answer in
the form y = ... [2] 6
3. Solve for n (to 2 decimal places):

4. The world population grew to 6 billion people by the year 2000

and is increasing at around 1,5% every year. Thus the world
population P, t years after 2000 can be predicted by:

Calculate when (ie. in which year) the population is expected to

double to 12 billion. Give your answer to the nearest year. 4
