Question

Let \(h(x) = \frac{{2x - 1}}{{x + 1}}\) , \(x \ne - 1\) .

Find \({h^{ - 1}}(x)\) .

[4]
a.

(i)     Sketch the graph of h for \( - 4 \le x \le 4\) and \( - 5 \le y \le 8\) , including any asymptotes.

(ii)    Write down the equations of the asymptotes.

(iii)   Write down the x-intercept of the graph of h .

[7]
b(i), (ii) and (iii).

Let R be the region in the first quadrant enclosed by the graph of h , the x-axis and the line \(x = 3\).

(i)     Find the area of R.

(ii)    Write down an expression for the volume obtained when R is revolved through \({360^ \circ }\) about the x-axis.

[5]
c(i) and (ii).

e.g. \(xy + x = 2y - 1\)

collecting terms     A1

e.g. \(x + 1 = 2y - xy\) , \(x + 1 = y(2 - x)\)
