Let  `f:R→R, \ f(x)=cos(ax)`, where  `a in R text(\{0})`, be a function with the property

`f(x)=f(x+h),` for all  `h in Z`

Let  `g:D rarr R, \ g(x)=log_(2)(f(x))`  be a function where the range of `g` is `[-1,0]`.

A possible interval for `D` is

  1. `[(1)/(4),(5)/(12)]`
  2. `[1,(7)/(6)]`
  3. `[(5)/(3),2]`
  4. `[-(1)/(3),0]`
  5. `[-(1)/(12),(1)/(4)]`

`=>a=2pi`

`g(x)=log_(2)(f(x))=log_(2)(f(x+h))=log_(2)(cos(a(x+h)))`

`-1leqlog_(2)(cos(2pi x))leq0`

`(1)/(2)leq cos(2pi x)leq1`

`text(Sketch) \ y=cos(2pi x)\ \ text(by CAS.)`

`text(By inspection of graph,)\ \ (1)/(2)leq cos(2pi x)leq1\ \text{for}\ x in [1,(7)/(6)]`

Algebra, MET2 2015 VCAA 20 MC

If  `f(x - 1) = x^2 - 2x + 3`, then  `f(x)` is equal to

  1. `x^2 - 2`
  2. `x^2 + 2`
  3. `x^2 - 2x + 2`
  4. `x^2 - 2x + 4`
  5. `x^2 - 4x + 6`

`text(Let)\ g(x) = f(x – 1)`

`text(Shift)\ g(x)\ text(left 1):`

`g(x + 1)` `= (x + 1)^2 – 2(x + 1) + 3`
  `= x^2 + 2`

 
`=>   B`
