C3 Mathematics Edexcel June 2009 Question 5
Figure 2 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation y = f(x), x ∈ ℝ.The curve meets the coordinate axes at the points A(0,1–k) and B(½ln k, 0)
where k is a constant and k > 1, as shown in Figure 2.
On separate diagrams, sketch the curve with equation
(a) y = |f(x)|
(b) y = f-1(x)
Show on each sketch the coordinates, in terms of k, of each point at which the curve meets or cuts the axes.
Given that f(x) = e2x - k
(c) state the range of f,
(d) find f-1(x)
(e) write down the domain of f-1.

6. (a) Use the identity cos(A + B) = cos A cos B - sin A sin B to show that
cos 2A = 1 - 2 sin2 A
The curves C1 and C2 have equations
C1: y = 3 sin 2x
C2: y = 4 sin2 x - 2 cos 2x
(b) Show that the x-coordinates of the points where C1 and C2
intersect satisfy the equation
4 cos 2x + 3 sin 2x = 2
(c) Express 4cos 2x + 3 sin 2x in the form R cos (2x – α), where R > 0 and 0 < α < 90°,
giving the value of α to 2 decimal places.
(d) Hence find, for 0 ≤ x ≤ 180°, all the solutions of
4 cos 2x + 3 sin 2x = 2
giving your answers to 1 decimal place.
