A hint to get started
Restrict a quadratic and sketch its inverse
The function f is defined as , .
(i) Explain why does not exist. mark
The function f has an inverse if its domain is restricted to .
(ii) Find the largest value of k and hence find in a similar form. marks
(iii) Sketch, on the same diagram, the graphs of , and . marks
(iv) Hence, solve the equation , leaving your answer in exact form. marks
