The diagram shows the graph of y = |f(x)| passing through (0, 4) and touching the x-axis at (2, 0). Given that the graph of y = f(x)is a straight line, write down the two possible expressions for f(x). [Figure 2.a]

- (b)On the axes below, sketch the graph of y = e⁻ˣ +3, stating the coordinates of any point of intersection with the coordinate axes.[3]

Mark scheme
Marking points from the official mark scheme (May/June 2015). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.
- [B1,B1] [f(x)=]2x-4 and [f(x)=]-2x+4 Condone y =....
- [B1] correct shape;
- [B1] y intercept marked or seen nearby;
- [B1] intent to tend to y = 3 (i.e. not tending to or cutting x-axis)
