1 Fig. 8 shows the curve \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\), where \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = ( 1 - x ) \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x }\), with its turning point P . \begin{figure}[h]

  1. Write down the coordinates of the intercepts of \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\) with the \(x\) - and \(y\)-axes.
  2. Find the exact coordinates of the turning point P .
  3. Show that the exact area of the region enclosed by the curve and the \(x\) - and \(y\)-axes is \(\frac { 1 } { 4 } \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 } - 3 \right)\). The function \(\mathrm { g } ( x )\) is defined by \(\mathrm { g } ( x ) = 3 \mathrm { f } \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } x \right)\).
  4. Express \(\mathrm { g } ( x )\) in terms of \(x\). Sketch the curve \(y = \mathrm { g } ( x )\) on the copy of Fig. 8, indicating the coordinates of its intercepts with the \(x\) - and \(y\)-axes and of its turning point.
  5. Write down the exact area of the region enclosed by the curve \(y = \mathrm { g } ( x )\) and the \(x\) - and \(y\)-axes.

2 Fig. 9 shows the curve \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\), which has a \(y\)-intercept at \(\mathrm { P } ( 0,3 )\), a minimum point at \(\mathrm { Q } ( 1,2 )\), and an asymptote \(x = - 1\). \begin{figure}[h]

  1. Find the coordinates of the images of the points P and Q when the curve \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\) is transformed to
    (A) \(y = 2 \mathrm { f } ( x )\),
    (B) \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x + 1 ) + 2\). You are now given that \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \frac { x ^ { 2 } + 3 } { x + 1 } , x \neq - 1\).
  2. Find \(\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime } ( x )\), and hence find the coordinates of the other turning point on the curve \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\).
  3. Show that \(\mathrm { f } ( x - 1 ) = x - 2 + \frac { 4 } { x }\).
  4. Find \(\int _ { a } ^ { b } \left( x - 2 + \frac { 4 } { x } \right) \mathrm { d } x\) in terms of \(a\) and \(b\). Hence, by choosing suitable values for \(a\) and \(b\), find the exact area enclosed by the curve \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\), the \(x\)-axis, the \(y\)-axis and the line \(x = 1\).
