1 (i) Sketch the graph of y = |3 + 5x|, showing the coordinates of the points where your graph
meets the coordinate axes. [2]

(ii) Solve the equation |3 + 5x| = 2. [2]

2 (a) The function f is such that f(x) = 2x2 – 8x + 5.

(i) Show that f(x) = 2(x + a)2 + b, where a and b are to be found. [2]

(ii) Hence, or otherwise, write down a suitable domain for f so that f–1 exists. [1]

(b) The functions g and h are defined respectively by

g(x) = x2 + 4, x  0, h(x) = 4x – 25, x  0.

of any points where the curves meet the coordinate axes. [3]

5 The function f (x) = ax 3 + 4x 2 + bx - 2 , where a and b are constants, is such that 2x - 1 is a

factor. Given that the remainder when f (x) is divided by x - 2 is twice the remainder when f (x)
is divided by x + 1, find the value of a and of b. [6]

6 The polynomial f ^xh = ax 3 + 7x 2 - 9x + b is divisible by 2x - 1. The remainder when f ^xh is

divided by x - 2 is 5 times the remainder when f ^xh is divided by x + 1.
