The function \(\mathrm{f}\) is defined by\[\mathrm{f} : x \mapsto \frac{ax - 3}{5x - 4}, \text{ for}\hspace{0.5em} x \in \mathbb{R}, x \neq \frac{4}{5}, \text{ and}\hspace{0.5em} a \in \mathbb{R}\]

  1. Find the range of \(\mathrm{f}\) in terms of \(a\).[1]

The function \(\mathrm{f}\) is such that \(\mathrm{f}(x) = \mathrm{f}^{-1}(x)\) for all \(x\) in the domain of \(\mathrm{f}\).

  1. Find the value of \(a\).[2]
  2. Hence find \(\mathrm{f}^{2025}(2)\).[2]

Another function \(\mathrm{g}\) is defined by\[\mathrm{g} : x \mapsto \left(x - \frac{1}{5}\right)^2 + \frac{2}{5}, \text{ for}\hspace{0.5em} x \in \mathbb{R}, 0 < x < \frac{3}{5}\]

  1. Find the range of \(\mathrm{fg}\).[2]

Answer:(a) If \(a\ne\dfrac{15}{4}\), \(R_{\mathrm f}=\mathbb R\setminus\left\{\dfrac a5\right\}\); if \(a=\dfrac{15}{4}\), \(R_{\mathrm f}=\left\{\dfrac34\right\}\) (b) \(a=4\) (c) \(\dfrac56\) (d) \(R_{\mathrm{fg}}=\left(\dfrac{19}{30},\dfrac7{10}\right]\)
