Question 5 (3 marks)
a. Method 1
Draw a diagram.
So a = 2 . (1 mark)
Method 2
x = 4.9
4.9 − 5.3 x−
so z = using the rule z =

= −2
Pr( X 4.9) = Pr( Z −2)
= Pr( Z 2) by symmetry
So a = 2 . (1 mark)

d g = [−1,0] (1 mark)
Method 2
d f = [0,3]
1
If the graph of f is dilated by a factor of from the y-axis (i.e. compressed
3
horizontally) then the new domain will be x [0,1] .
If this graph is then reflected in the y-axis to become the graph of g, then
d g = [−1, 0] .
(1 mark)
ii. f ( x) = xsin( x)
Let y = xsin( x)
1 x
After a dilation by a factor of from the y-axis, replace x with = 3x
3 1

and we obtain y = 3x sin( 3 x) .
