(c)(i)
From the graph, when x = 3, y = −5
(c)(ii)
From the graph, when y = 2, x = 4.15
(d)
y = 2x2 − 8x + 1 ---- (1)
2x2 − 4x− 11 = 0
0 = 2x2 − 4x– 11 ---- (2)

(ii) TR [3 marks]
(b) Diagram 8.2 shows three trapeziums, ABCD, PQRS and PTUV drawn on a Cartesian plane.

Diagram 8.2
(i) Trapezium PTUV is the image of trapezium ABCD under the combined transformation VW. Describe in full, the transformation W and the transformation V. [ 6 marks]
(ii) Given that the area of trapezium ABCD is 14 cm2, calculate the area, in cm2, of the shaded region. [3 marks]
Answer and solution:

(a)(i) (3, 2) → T → (1, 5)
(a)(ii) (3, 2) → R → (3, 4) → T → (1, 7)
(b)(i)

W : Rotation, 90o clockwise at centre (0 , −1)
V: Enlargement, scale factor of 2, centre of enlargement at point P (2 , 1)
(ii)
Area of PTUV = (scale factor)2 × Area of object
= 22 × 14
= 56 cm2
Area of shaded region = 56 – 14 = 42 cm2
