The function \(\mathrm f\) is given by

\[\mathrm f:x\mapsto\ln x,\quad x\in\mathbb R,\quad0<x\le2.\]

  1. Sketch the curve of \(y=\mathrm f(x)\).[2]
  2. Show that \(\mathrm f^{-1}\) exists.[1]
  3. Find \(\mathrm f^{-1}(x)\) and state its domain.[3]

The function \(\mathrm g\) is given by

\[\mathrm g:x\mapsto\frac12\cos x+1,\quad x\in\mathbb R,\quad0\le x\le2\pi.\]

  1. Explain why the composite function \(\mathrm{fg}\) exists.[1]
  2. Find the value of \(\mathrm{fg}\left(\dfrac{3\pi}2\right)\).[2]
  3. Find the exact value of \(b\) such that \(\mathrm g^{-1}\mathrm f(b)=\dfrac\pi3\).[3]

Answer:(a) \(y=\ln x,0<x\le2\). (b) One-to-one. (c) \(\mathrm f^{-1}(x)=e^x,\ x\le\ln2\). (d) \(R_{\mathrm g}\subseteq D_{\mathrm f}\). (e) \(0\). (f) Invalid as printed: \(\mathrm g^{-1}\) does not exist; the supplied \(b=e^{5/4}>2\) also violates \(D_{\mathrm f}\).
