Higher November 2022 Unit 1 Q19
19. The highest point of a curve is called a maximum point.
The diagram below shows a sketch of the curve with equation \(y = f(x)\).
The maximum point of this curve has coordinates (–5, 4).

(a) For each of the following, write down the coordinates of the maximum point of the curve with the given equation.
(i) \(y = 2f(x)\) [1]
The coordinates of the maximum point are ( ……………… , ……………… ).
(ii) \(y = f(x - 7)\) [1]
The coordinates of the maximum point are ( ……………… , ……………… ).
(b) The curve with equation \(y = f(x)\) is reflected in the \(y\)-axis.
Write down the equation of the transformed curve.
You should use function notation. [1]
