Marking Guidelines
Section I
Solution Criteria
1. The highest value on the graph 1 Mark: C
is which occurs when x = 1.
As x approaches positive
infinity, the values approach
negative infinity.
Therefore, the range of the f(x)
is ( ― ∞,3]

2. Input values 1 and 2 (or 3 and 4)map to 1 Mark: D

output value 4 many ― to
Input value 4 maps to output values 9
and 16 to ― many
Therefore, R is a many ― to ― many relation.

3. Simplify 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑥 ( ) + 𝑙𝑜𝑔 (𝑥 )
