Instruction to candidates:
Answer all questions in Section A and any one question in Section B. Answers may be written in either
English or Bahasa Malaysia. All necessary working should be shown clearly.

Section A [45 marks]

Answer all questions in this section.

1 The function of f and g are defined by f : x  x  2 and g : x  x 2  4 . Determine the domain and
range of both f and g. Hence, explain why f  g does not exist. [4 marks]

5 The polynomial p  x   x 4  ax 3  7 x 2  4ax  b has a factor x  3 and when divided by x  3 , has

remainder 60. Find the values of a and b and factorise p(x) completely. [9 marks]

6 Find the values of x if y  3 x and 4 y   x 2  9   24 . [9 marks]

Section B [15 marks]

Answer any one question in this section.

7 The polynomial p x   6 x 4  ax 3  bx 2  28 x  12 , where a and b are real constants, has factors

 x  2 and  x  2  .
(a) Find the values a and b, and hence, factorise p(x) completely. [7 marks]
(b) Give that p  x    2 x 3 q  x   41 
 3 x 3
, find q(x), and determine its range when x    2,10 .
