(a) Use the graph to solve f(x)=5. [2]
(b(i)) Draw the tangent at (−1.5,3.5). [1]
(b(ii)) Estimate the gradient at x=−1.5 from the tangent. [2]
\(g(x)=2^x\).
| x | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| g(x) | 0.25 | 0.5 | 2 | 4 |
(c(i)) Complete the table. [1]
(c(ii)) Draw y=g(x) on the same grid for −2≤x≤2. [3]
(d(i)) Solve f(x)=g(x) using the graphs. [2]
(d(ii)) Solve f(x)
(e(i)) Write g(−3),g(−5),g(−10). [1]
(e(ii)) As x decreases, what value does g(x) approach? [1]
