MATHEMATICS 1R
1. Let f, g be the real functions defined by f (x) = x2 and g(x) = 1/(2+x), (x 6= −2).
Find all values of x for which f (g(x)) = g(f (x)). 4

2. State the formulae for r and r2. 2
r=1 r=1
Use these formulae to find an expression for the sum to n terms of the series
(1 × 2) + (2 × 3) + (3 × 4) + (4 × 5) + (5 × 6) + (6 × 7) + . . . .

For that value of a, transform the augmented matrix of the system to reduced
echelon form and deduce the general solution of the equations. 2

log(2 + v) − log(2 − v) = t .
2+v
Use the definition of the natural logarithm to express as a function of t, and
2−v
hence find an expression for v as a function of t. 3
Describe the behaviour of v(t) for large positive values of t. 1
(a) Find the zeros and vertical asymptotes to the curve and draw a table of
signs, 3
(b) find the non-vertical asymptote to the curve, and describe how it is ap-
proached as x → ∞ and x → −∞, 2
(c) find the x-coordinates of any critical points, and 3
(d) draw a rough sketch of the curve. 1
