Worksheet C: Raphs of Unctions

1) Solve simultaneous equations to find the intersection point of a straight line and curve. The line and curve intersect at a single point, showing their geometric relationship. 2) Sketch the graphs of y=3f(x), y=f(x+1), and y=f(-x) based on the graph of y=f(x) between -2 and 2. 3) Show that a given line does not intersect a given curve, and find the values of m such that another line meets the same curve at exactly one point.
