MS-Worksheet on transformation of functions

1a. [3 marks]

Markscheme
* This sample question was produced by experienced DP mathematics senior examiners to
aid teachers in preparing for external assessment in the new MAA course. There may be
minor differences in formatting compared to formal exam papers.
for example,
a reflection in the 𝑥-axis (in the line 𝑦 = 0) A1
a horizontal translation (shift) 3 units to the left A1
a vertical translation (shift) down by 1 unit A1

Note: Award A1 for each correct transformation applied in a correct position in the
sequence. Do not accept use of the “move” for a translation.
Note: Award A1A1A1 for a correct alternative sequence of transformations. For example,
a vertical translation (shift) down by 1 unit, followed by a horizontal translation (shift) 3
units to the left and then a reflection in the line 𝑦 = −1.

range is 𝑓(𝑥) ≤ −1 A1

Note: Correct alternative notations include ]−∞, −1], (−∞, −1] or 𝑦 ≤ −1.

1c. [5 marks]
Markscheme
−1 − √𝑦 + 3 = 𝑥 M1

Note: Award M1 for interchanging 𝑥 and 𝑦 (can be done at a later stage).

√𝑦 + 3 = −𝑥 − 1(= −(𝑥 + 1)) A1

𝑦 + 3 = (𝑥 + 1)2 A1
so 𝑓 −1 (𝑥) = (𝑥 + 1)2 − 3 (𝑓 −1 (𝑥) = 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 2) A1
domain is 𝑥 ≤ −1 A1

Note: Correct alternative notations include ]−∞, −1] or (−∞, −1].

OR

−1 − √𝑥 + 3 = 𝑥 M1

(−1 − √𝑥 + 3) = 𝑥 2 ⇒ 2√𝑥 + 3 + 𝑥 + 4 = 𝑥 2

substitutes 2√𝑥 + 3 = −2(𝑥 + 1) to obtain −2(𝑥 + 1) + 𝑥 + 4 = 𝑥 2


attempts to solve their quadratic equation M1
−1±√12 −4(1)(−2) −1±3
for example, (𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 − 1) = 0 or 𝑥 = (𝑥 = )
2 2

THEN
𝑥 = −2,1 A1
as 𝑥 ≤ −1, the only solution is 𝑥 = −2 R1
so the coordinates of the point of intersection are (−2, −2) A1

Note: Award R0A1 if (−2, −2) is stated without a valid reason given for rejecting (1,1).
