Thank you!


No problem :smile:
Not hearing good things from the AQA maths people, let's hope Edexcel are kinder with their papers.

How do you draw this graph ???

Sketch the ln x graph (you should know what that looks like) and then transform it via stretching in the x-direction and horizontal translation.

Ye but its got a mod and the markscheme shows something completely different ........

Yeah, it'll be reflected in the line x=2 since it's of the form y = f(|x|). (which normally gets reflected in the y-axis, but this has been translated, so gets reflected in the line x=2 instead of x=0)

is that always the case for something like this? How come its not ln(3|x|-6)??

I've invested just under 3,000 hours this year on Maths alone. If EdEx ruin my chance of an A*, ...tbc

Because the question wants you to plot ln|3x-6| and not ln(3|x| - 6).
alright cheers mate

When you're transforming x, it's translate first, then stretch.

Eh? No. I could do it both different ways if I wanted to...
@Zacken, if it was ln|3x| - 6, then you would translate by a vector of (0 -6) to give two coordinates of (-1/3, -6) and (1/3, -6), right?

You'd then need to stretch it by scale factor 1/3 in the x-direction. So translate down by 6 then stretch horizontally by 1/3

Oh right, so the x coordinate would change when you translate down by 6, yeah. So x would equal 1/3(e^6) and -1/3(e^6)?

those practice pprs written by edexcel?
i dont think so heres the link:http://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/a-level-maths-papers/c3-edexcel-practice/

Its on physics and maths tutors website under edexcel practice papers but not sure...

Say f(x) was a particular function, when you draw y= f(3x-5) you'd have to shift to the right by 5 first, and then stretch along the X axis by scale factor of 1/3. Doing it the other way around will give you a different overall transformation.

Original post by michael242103


When you read the question on the actual paper, there's no ln? It just says f(X) = a|2x-a|, and if you use that, you get what the mark scheme says.

I thought you did AQA? Or were you just trolling on the AQA thread saying it was a 'straightforward' exam?
