After scaling along y–axis by scale factor 2 , y = ln (6 – 2x)

After translating by (–3) units along x–axis, y = ln (6 – 2(x + 3)) = ln (–2x)

After scaling along x–axis by scale factor –2, y = ln x

C is an ellipse with centre ( −4, 2), semi-minor axis 1 and semi-major axis 2.

Da can be obtained from C via a translation by a units in the positive x-direction and a

stretching by a factor in the y-direction.

which simplifies to ( y − 4) 2 + ( x + 3.5) 2 = 4. Thus the centre of this circle is ( −3.5, 4).

From the sketch, there are 2 intersection points. Thus the equation has 4 distinct real
