Core 12 Mathematics Edexcel January 2015 Question 3
Figure 2 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation y = f(x).
The curve crosses the coordinate axes at the points (2.5, 0) and (0, 9), has a stationary point at (1, 11), and has an asymptote y = 3.
On separate diagrams, sketch the curve with equation
(a) y = 3f(x)
(b) y = f(-x)
On each diagram show clearly the coordinates of the points of intersection of the curve with the two coordinate axes, the coordinates of the stationary point, and the equation of he asymptote.
