Problem
The curve C1 has equation y=f(x), where
f(x)=(4x−3)(x−5)2.
(a) Sketch C1 showing the coordinates of any point where the curve touches or crosses the coordinate axes.
(3)
(b) Hence or otherwise
(i) find the values of x for which f(4x)=0,
(ii) find the value of the constant p such that the curve with equation y=f(x)+p passes through the origin.
(2)
A second curve C2 has equation y=g(x), where g(x)=f(x+1).
(c) (i) Find, in simplest form, g(x). You may leave your answer in a factorised form.
(ii) Hence, or otherwise, find the y intercept of curve C2.

因式分解形式已经给出。4x−3=0 是一次因式,所以图像穿过 x 轴;(x−5)2=0 是重复根,所以图像在 x=5 处接触 x 轴。

The x-intercepts are
4x−3=0(x−5)2=0⇒x=43,⇒x=5.
At x=0,
f(0)=(−3)(−5)2=−75.
So the sketch is a positive cubic shape, crossing the x-axis at (43,0), touching the x-axis at (5,0), and crossing the y-axis at (0,−75).

若 f(4x)=0,则 4x 必须等于 f 的零点。第二问让新图像过原点,所以代入 x=0,y=0。

From part (a), f(u)=0 when
u=43oru=5.
So
4x=43or4x=5.
Hence
x=3orx=20.
For y=f(x)+p to pass through the origin,
0=f(0)+p=−75+p.
Therefore
p=75.

g(x)=f(x+1),所以把 f(x) 里的每个 x 都换成 x+1。求 y 轴截距时再令 x=0。

g(x)===f(x+1)(4(x+1)−3)(x+1−5)2(4x+1)(x−4)2.
At the y-intercept, x=0, so
g(0)==(1)(−4)216.
Therefore the y intercept is 16, or (0,16).
