Problem
In this question you must show all stages of your working.
Solutions relying on calculator technology are not acceptable.
Figure 5 shows a sketch of the curve with equation y=f(x) where
f(x)=x,x>0.
Figure 5
The point P(9,3) lies on the curve and is shown in Figure 5.
On the next page there is a copy of Figure 5 called Diagram 1.
Diagram 1
(a) On Diagram 1, sketch and clearly label the graphs of
y=f(2x)andy=f(x)+3.
Show on each graph the coordinates of the point to which P is transformed.
(3)
The graph of y=f(2x) meets the graph of y=f(x)+3 at the point Q.
(b) Show that the x coordinate of Q is the solution of
x=3(2+1).
(3)
(c) Hence find, in simplest form, the coordinates of Q.

y=f(2x) 是水平压缩,点 P(9,3) 变为 (29,3)。y=f(x)+3 是向上平移 3,点 P(9,3) 变为 (9,6)。
答题过程

For y=f(2x), the x coordinate is halved, while the y coordinate is unchanged:
P(9,3)↦(29,3).
For y=f(x)+3, the graph is translated 3 units upwards:
P(9,3)↦(9,6).
The sketch should show y=f(2x) as a horizontally compressed square-root curve, and y=f(x)+3 as the original square-root curve shifted up by 3.

交点处两条图像的 y 值相等。由于 f(x)=x,所以 f(2x)=2x,而 f(x)+3=x+3。

At Q,
f(2x)=2x=f(x)+3x+3.
Since 2x=2x,
2x=(2−1)x=x=x+332−13.
Rationalise the denominator:
x===2−13⋅2+12+12−13(2+1)3(2+1).
This is the required result.

由 (b) 直接平方求 x。再代入较简单的 y=f(x)+3=x+3 求 y。

From part (b),
x=3(2+1).
Square both sides:
x====(3(2+1))29(2+1)29(2+22+1)9(3+22).
Then
y===x+33(2+1)+332+6.
Therefore
Q=(9(3+22),32+6).
