Question

Let f(x)=6x12x+3f(x)=6x12x+3, for x32x32.

For the graph of ff, find the yy-intercept.

valid method      (M1)

eg   ff(0),  sketch of graph

yy-intercept is 1313  (exact),  −0.333, (0,13)(0,13)       A1 N2

a.i.

valid approach      (M1)

eg   recognizing that limxf(x)limxf(x) is related to the horizontal asymptote, 

table with large values of xx, their yy value from (a)(iii), L’Hopital’s rule limxf(x)=3limxf(x)=3.

limx(6x12x+3)=3limx(6x12x+3)=3      A1 N2
