Instructions to students: Answer all questions.

1 A function is defined by f ( x)  4  3x  3x 2  x3 .

(i) Given that f ( x )  p ( x  1)3  q  , find the values of the constants p and q. [2]

(ii) Hence describe a sequence of transformations that transform the graph of y  x3 onto the
graph of y  f ( x). [3]

2 The diagram below shows the graph of y  f ( x). The graph passes through the origin and has
a minimum point at (3, 2). It has a vertical asymptote x  1 and a horizontal asymptote y  4 .
