Question

Sketch the curve with equation $y=\left| \frac{\alpha x}{x+1} \right|$, where $\alpha $ is a positive constant, stating the equations of the asymptotes. On the same diagram, sketch the line with equation $y=\alpha x-2$.[3] Solve the inequality $\left| \frac{\alpha x}{x+1} \right|\ge \alpha x-2$, giving your answers in term of $\alpha $.[3]

Accepted Answer

(ii) $x\le \frac{1+\sqrt{1+2\alpha }}{\alpha }$ and $x=-1$
