Since the function intersects y = 2x +1 , then it must pass through the point of
intersection i.e. (1,3) . So
= 3 2e1−1 + c and so c = 1 .
The rule of the function is y = 2e1−x +1.

Gradient of tangent = f '( p )
= −2 p
The tangent passes through A(0, 5) .
Equation of tangent is
y − y1 = m( x − x1 )
y − 5 = −2 p( x − 0)
y = −2 px + 5
(1 mark)
Since the tangent intersects with f just once then the equation of intersection of the
tangent and f has just one solution.
−2 px + 5 = 4 − x 2 (equation of intersection)
x 2 − 2 px +1 = 0
a =1, b = −2 p, c =1
∆ = b 2 − 4ac
= (−2 p) 2 − 4 ×1×1
= 4 p2 − 4
For one solution, ∆ = 0
=0 4 p2 − 4
0 = 4( p − 1)( p + 1)
p = ±1 but p > 0 so p =1
The equation of the tangent is y = −2x + 5

When r =1 we have the case shown on the graph in the question (and below), so g
and f intersect just once in this case.
When r = −1 we have the case where the line has been reflected in the y-axis so the
point of tangency will occur at ( − p, f (− p ) ) , so g and f intersect just once in this
case.

When r > 1 or r < −1 we have a dilation from the y-axis which is a stretching.
This means that g would have no points of intersection with f.
A(0,5)
r < −1 r >1

O p 2
y = f ( x)
When 0 < r <1 or −1 < r < 0 we have a dilation from the y-axis which is a
compression.
5
Note that the x-intercept of the line is when r = 1 . The x-intercept of f is 2.
2
When the line has been compressed towards the y-axis so that it’s x-intercept is also
5
2, the compression factor has been 2 ÷ = 0.8 .
2
So for 0.8 ≤ r <1 , the line intersects twice with f.
Similarly for −1 < r ≤ −0.8 , the line intersects twice with f.
