Question
Let f(x)=6x−12x+3f(x)=6x−12x+3, for x≠−32x≠−32.
For the graph of ff, find the yy-intercept.

a.i.
Hence or otherwise, write down limx→∞(6x−12x+3)limx→∞(6x−12x+3).

valid method (M1)
eg ff(0), sketch of graph
yy-intercept is −13−13 (exact), −0.333, (0,−13)(0,−13) A1 N2

a.i.
valid approach (M1)
eg recognizing that limx→∞f(x)limx→∞f(x) is related to the horizontal asymptote,
table with large values of xx, their yy value from (a)(iii), L’Hopital’s rule limx→∞f(x)=3limx→∞f(x)=3.
limx→∞(6x−12x+3)=3limx→∞(6x−12x+3)=3 A1 N2
