The function f is defined by f(x)=3+6x−2x2 for x∈R.
(a) Express f(x) in the form a−b(x−c)2, where a, b and c are constants, and state the range of f.

(b) The graph of y=f(x) is transformed to the graph of y=h(x) by a reflection in one of the axes followed by a translation. It is given that the graph of y=h(x) has a minimum point at the origin.
Give details of the reflection and translation involved.

The function g is defined by g(x)=3+6x−2x2 for x≤0.
(c) Sketch the graph of y=g(x) and explain why g is a one-one function. You are not required to find the coordinates of any intersections with the axes.

(d) Sketch the graph of y=g−1(x) on your diagram in (c), and find an expression for g−1(x). You should label the two graphs in your diagram appropriately and show any relevant mirror line.

函数 f 定义为 f(x)=3+6x−2x2,其中 x∈R。
(a) 将 f(x) 表示为 a−b(x−c)2 的形式,其中 a、b、c 为常数,并写出 f 的值域。
Thus a=215, b=2 and c=23. The range is (−∞,215].

Reflecting in the x-axis sends the vertex (23,215) to (23,−215) and makes it a minimum. Then translate by (−23215), which sends the minimum to the origin.

Sketch the increasing, concave-down part of the parabola for x≤0, ending at (0,3). It rises from the third quadrant into the second. Since g′(x)=6−4x>0 for x≤0, every output is attained at most once. Hence g is one-to-one. The combined sketch is shown in (d).
