Prelims

The curve \(C\) has equation \(y=2+\frac{3a}{x-a}\), where \(a\) is a positive constant.

  1. Describe fully a sequence of transformations which would transform the curve \(y=\frac{1}{x}\) onto the curve \(C\).[3]
  2. Sketch the graph of \(y=\left| 2+\frac{3a}{x-a} \right|\), labelling the equations of the asymptotes and coordinates of the axial intercepts.[3]
  3. Use an algebraic method to solve \(\left| 2+\frac{3}{x-1} \right|=3\) and state the solution for \(\left| 2+\frac{3}{x-1} \right|<3\).[4]
