𝐼𝑛𝑒 2𝑥 = 𝐼𝑛4𝑒 2−𝑥

2𝑥 = 𝐼𝑛4+𝐼𝑛𝑒 2−𝑥
2𝑥 = 𝐼𝑛4 + 2 − 𝑥

3) The function 𝑓(𝑥 ) = 2𝑥 2 − 8𝑥 + 11 , 𝑥 ∈ ℝ

i) Express 𝑓(𝑥 )in form the 𝑎(𝑥 + 𝑏)2 + 𝑐 where 𝑎 , 𝑏 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐 are constants [2]
2𝑥 2 − 8𝑥 + 11 = 𝑎(𝑥 + 𝑏)2 + 𝑐
= 𝑎(𝑥 2 + 2𝑏𝑥 + 𝑏2 ) + 𝑐
= 𝑎𝑥 2 + 2𝑎𝑏𝑥 + 𝑎𝑏2 + 𝑐

𝑎𝑏2 + 𝑐 = 11 2𝑎𝑏 = −8 𝑎=2

(2)𝑏2 + 𝑐 = 11 2(2)𝑏 = −8
(2)𝑏2 + 𝑐 = 11 𝑏 = −2

(2)(−2)2 + 𝑐 = 11
𝑐=3

∴ 2𝑥 2 − 8𝑥 + 11 = 2(𝑥 − 2)2 + 3

Method 2

By Completing Square

Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 0
2𝑥 2 − 8𝑥 + 11 = 0
2𝑥 2 − 8𝑥 = −11

Divide by coefficients of 𝑥 2

11
𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 = −
2

Adding squared half coefficients of 𝑥 both sides

11
𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + (−2)2 = − + (−2)2

Remember 𝑎 + 2𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏2 = (𝑎 + 𝑏)2 (𝐿𝐻𝑆)

iv) Explain why 𝑓(𝑥) does not have an inverse

For the domain𝑥 ∈ ℝ is not a one to one function so does not have an inverse

Let the centre be (𝑥; 𝑦)
Note: The distance (radius) from centre(𝑥, 𝑦) to all points is equal

Let the distance be𝑟1 , 𝑟2 , 𝑟3

𝑟1 = √(𝑥 − 0)2 + (𝑦 − 0)2
𝑟2 = √(𝑥 − 1)2 + (𝑦 − 7)2
𝑟3 = √(𝑥 − 7)2 + (𝑦 + 1)2
Now
𝑟1 = 𝑟2
⇒ √(𝑥 − 0)2 + (𝑦 − 0)2 = √(𝑥 − 1)2 + (𝑦 − 7)2
𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = (𝑥 − 1)2 + (𝑦 − 7)2
𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 1 + 𝑦 2 − 14𝑦 + 49
2𝑥 + 14𝑦 = 50
𝑥 + 7𝑦 = 25 … . 𝑖

Also
𝑟1 = 𝑟3
⇒ √(𝑥 − 0)2 + (𝑦 − 0)2 = √(𝑥 − 7)2 + (𝑦 + 1)2
𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = (𝑥 − 7)2 + (𝑦 + 1)2
𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 𝑥 2 − 14𝑥 + 49+𝑦 2 + 2𝑦 + 1
14𝑥 − 2𝑦 = 50
7𝑥 − 𝑦 = 25 … . 𝑖𝑖

Solving 𝑖 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑖𝑖
𝑥 + 7𝑦 = 25 … . 𝑖
7𝑥 − 𝑦 = 25 … . 𝑖𝑖

⇒ 𝑥 = 25 − 7𝑦 … 𝑖.
7(25 − 7𝑦) − 𝑦 = 25 … . 𝑖𝑖

ii) Write down the formula of the 𝑛𝑡ℎ term [2]

Above is a Arithmetic .Progression
