Question 10 (4 marks)
The spread of a type of invasive weed into a country between 1955 and 2015
followed an exponential pattern of growth. This can be modelled by the equation
𝐴𝐴(𝑡𝑡) = 142𝑒𝑒 𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘 , where 𝐴𝐴 is the area covered in millions of square metres, 𝑡𝑡 is the
time in years after 1955 and 𝑘𝑘 is a positive constant. In 1985, there was 250 million
square metres of the weed.
ii) Assuming the rate of growth continued to use the same model beyond 2
2015, estimate the coverage of the weed by 2030 to the nearest million
square metre.

Question 14 (2 marks) Marks
Explain, with an appropriate example, why the order in which transformations are 2
applied to a function is important when graphing or solving the transformed
function.
Question 15 (3 marks)
The function 𝑦𝑦 = |𝑥𝑥| is transformed and the equation of the new function is of the 3
form 𝑦𝑦 = 𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘(𝑥𝑥 + 𝑏𝑏) + 𝑐𝑐, where k, b and c are constants. The graph of the new
function is shown below.
