  1. A curve with equation \(y=\mathrm{f}(x)\) undergoes the following sequence of transformation.
    \(\qquad A\): A translation of \(3\) units in the positive \(y\)-direction.
    \(\qquad B\): A translation of \(2\) units in the positive \(x\)-direction.
    \(\qquad C\): A stretch with scale factor \(2\) parallel to the \(x\)-axis.
    The resulting curve has equation \(y=\mathrm{g}(x)\) where \(\mathrm{g}(x)=2-\frac{4}{3x-7}\). Find \(\mathrm{f}(x)\) in terms of \(x\). [3]
    Another curve with equation \(y=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}(x)}\) undergoes the same sequence of transformations \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\).
    Will the equation of the resulting curve be\(y=\frac{1}{\mathrm{g}(x)}\)? Justify your answer[1]

Answer:\(\mathrm f(x)=-1-\dfrac4{6x+5}\) No. The same transformations give \(y=3+\dfrac1{\mathrm g(x)-3}\), not \(y=\dfrac1{\mathrm g(x)}\).
