« on: May 11, 2010, 12:43:17 pm »
hello can anyone solve q no.4 from M/J 2009 pastpaper ?
it is a graph question

The diagram shows the graph of y = a sin(bx) + c for 0 ? x ? 2p.
(i) Find the values of a, b and c. [3]
(ii) Find the smallest value of x in the interval 0 ? x ? 2p for which y = 0

the function f is such that f(x) = (3x + 2)3 ? 5 for x ? 0.
ii) Obtain an expression for f?1(x) and state the domain of f?1.
..????

ohk..

here

y=(3x+2)^3 -5
to get inverse you make x the subject
y+5=(3x+2)^3
3\sqrt(y+5)=(3x+2)
3\sqrt(y+5)-2= x
       -------------
         3
f^(-1)(x)=3\sqrt(x+5)-2
                      -------------
                       3

now range of f(x)= domain of f-1(x)
range of f(x) can be as the domain for it is given as x>=0
sub 0 in f(x) y>=3

this is the domain of the  inverse function
D of f-1(x) x>=3
