Figure 1 shows a sketch of the curve C with equation y = f(x). The curve C passes through the origin O and touches the x-axis at the point (3, 0). There is a maximum point at (1, 4). Figure 1 (a) Write down the coordinates of the maximum point on the curve with equation y = f(x + 2).

  1. (a)Write down the coordinates of the maximum point on the curve with equation y = f(x + 2).[2]

Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme. The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

  1. B1 for x-coordinate = 1 - 2 = -1 (or correct transformation applied to x-coordinate).
  2. B1 for y-coordinate = 4 (or correct transformation applied to y-coordinate).
  3. B1 B1 for (-1, 4). (Accept if written separately as x = -1, y = 4)
