The document you uploaded appears to be a Grade 12 Mathematics test with three main questions, totaling 50 marks. Here's a summary of the questions:

Question 1 (11 marks)

Involves functions: 1.1: Find the values of constants aa and bb for functions y=f(x)=bx2y = f(x) = bx^2 and y=g(x)=axy = g(x) = ax. 1.2: Suggest a restriction for f(x)f(x) so its inverse is a function. 1.3: Determine the equation of the inverse of f(x)f(x). 1.4: Write the inverse function of g(x)g(x) as g1(x)=...g^{-1}(x) = .... 1.5: Given h(x)=g(x2)+3h(x) = g(x - 2) + 3, describe the transformation from g(x)g(x) to h(x)h(x).

Question 2 (29 marks)

Focuses on trigonometric identities: 2.1: Complete trigonometric expressions involving angles. 2.2: Express trigonometric functions in terms of t=cos48t = \cos 48^\circ. 2.3: Prove a trigonometric identity. 2.4: Calculate a trigonometric ratio without using a calculator. 2.5: Solve a trigonometric equation. 2.6: Use a diagram to find cos(2A)\cos(2A) given sin(A)\sin(A).

Question 3 (10 marks)

Geometric proof: 3.1: Prove similarity between triangles. 3.2: Prove a geometric ratio involving segments. 3.3: Prove another ratio involving tangent and chord properties.


Let me know which specific question you'd like to explore, or if you need help solving any of the problems!

Here are 5 follow-up questions to expand on this material:

  1. How do you find the inverse of a quadratic function like f(x)=bx2f(x) = bx^2?
  2. What is the role of angle identities in simplifying trigonometric equations?
  3. How can you use transformations to shift and stretch the graph of a function like g(x)g(x)?
  4. What geometric principles are used to prove the similarity between triangles?
  5. How do you approach solving trigonometric equations with multiple angles like cos(2x)\cos(2x)?

Tip: When proving trigonometric identities, try expressing all terms in terms of sine and cosine—it often simplifies the process!
