TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper — Maths H2 A-Level (Version 3) Answer Key

Subject: Mathematics H2 · Level: A-Level · Total Marks: 60

Section A: Short Response

1. [2]
$f(x) = 2x - 5$ . Let $y = 2x - 5 \Rightarrow x = \frac{y+5}{2}$ . So $f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x+5}{2}$ .
Domain of $f^{-1}$ : $x \in \mathbb{R}$ (since range of $f$ is $\mathbb{R}$ ).
Marks: 1 for inverse, 1 for domain.

2. [2]
$g(x) = x^2 + 1$ is a parabola with axis of symmetry $x=0$ ; e.g., $g(1)=g(-1)=2$ . It is not one-to-one (fails horizontal line test), so no inverse exists.
Marks: 1 for reason (not one-to-one), 1 for example/explanation.

3. [2]
Range of $g$ : $g(x)=x-3 \in \mathbb{R}$ . Domain of $f$ : $x \ge 0$ . Since range of $g$ is not a subset of domain of $f$ (e.g., $g(0)=-3 < 0$ ), $fg$ does not exist.
Marks: 1 for check, 1 for conclusion.

4. [2]
$f(|x|) = \frac{1}{|x|}$ for $x \ne 0$ .
Marks: 2 for correct expression.

5. [2]
$y = |2x-1| = \begin{cases} 2x-1 & x \ge 0.5 \\ 1-2x & x < 0.5 \end{cases}$ . Vertex at $(0.5, 0)$ .
Marks: 1 for sketch description, 1 for vertex.

6. [2]
$|x-4| < 3 \iff 4-3 < x < 4+3 \iff 1 < x < 7$ .
Marks: 2 for correct interval.

7. [2]
Vertical asymptote where denominator zero: $x - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 1$ .
Marks: 2 for equation.

8. [2]
$gf(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x^3) = x^3 + 2$ .
Marks: 2 for expression.

9. [2]
Range of $e^x$ is $(0, \infty)$ or $y > 0$ .
Marks: 2 for range.

10. [2]
$t = x-1$ , substitute: $y = 2(x-1) - 3 = 2x - 5$ . Cartesian: $y = 2x - 5$ .
Marks: 2 for equation.

11. [2]
$\frac{x-2}{x+1} > 0 \Rightarrow$ critical values $x=2, x=-1$ . Sign chart: positive for $x < -1$ or $x > 2$ .
Marks: 2 for solution.

12. [2]
Domain: $x > 1$ . Range: $y \in \mathbb{R}$ (since $\ln$ spans all reals).
Marks: 1 each.

13. [2]
$y = \frac{1}{x+2} = f(x)$ is $y=\frac{1}{x}$ translated 2 units left.
Marks: 2 for translation.

14. [2]
$|x^2-4|=0 \Rightarrow x^2=4 \Rightarrow x = \pm 2$ .
Marks: 2 for both values.

15. [2]
A function has an inverse iff it is one-to-one (each $y$ maps to exactly one $x$ ).
Marks: 2 for condition.

Section B: Structured Problems

16. [6]
(a) $f(x)=x^2-6x+5=(x-3)^2-4$ , parabola with min at $x=3$ ; not one-to-one. [2]
(b) Largest $k = 3$ (restrict to $x \ge 3$ ). [2]
(c) For $x \ge 3$ , $y=(x-3)^2-4 \Rightarrow (x-3)^2 = y+4 \Rightarrow x = 3+\sqrt{y+4}$ . So $f^{-1}(x)=3+\sqrt{x+4}$ , domain $x \ge -4$ . [2]

17. [6]
(a) Range of $g = [-1,\infty)$ , domain of $f = \mathbb{R}\setminus\{2\}$ . Need $g(x) \ne 2$ : $x^2-1=2 \Rightarrow x=\pm\sqrt{3}$ ; for all other $x$ , $g(x)$ in domain of $f$ , so $fg$ exists for $x \ne \pm\sqrt{3}$ . [3]
(b) $fg(x)=f(g(x))=\frac{1}{(x^2-1)-2}=\frac{1}{x^2-3}$ . Domain: $x \ne \pm\sqrt{3}$ . Range: $\mathbb{R}\setminus\{0\}$ (since denominator $\ne 0$ ). [3]

18. [6]
(a) Reflect $f$ in $y$ -axis: $f(-x)=\frac{1}{-x-3}=-\frac{1}{x+3}$ . Translate 2 up: $g(x)=-\frac{1}{x+3}+2$ . [2]
(b) Domain: $x \ne -3$ . Range: $y \ne 2$ . [2]
(c) Horizontal asymptote: $y=2$ . [2]

19. [6]
$\frac{x^2-4}{x+2} = \frac{(x-2)(x+2)}{x+2} = x-2$ for $x \ne -2$ . Inequality: $x-2 \le 0$ and $x \ne -2 \Rightarrow x \le 2, x \ne -2$ . Graphical: line with hole at $x=-2$ . [6: 2 algebra, 2 exclude, 2 graph ref]

20. [6]
(a) $\cos\theta = x/2$ , $\sin\theta = y/3$ ; $\cos^2+\sin^2=1 \Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1$ . With $0\le\theta\le\pi$ , $y \ge 0$ , $x \in [-2,2]$ . [3]
(b) Upper semi-ellipse from $(-2,0)$ to $(2,0)$ through $(0,3)$ . [3]
