1. Problem Description

We are given a function ff and its graph (D)(D). We need to determine the nature of the function ff, find the image of 33 by the function ff, and determine the expression of f(x)f(x). Then we are given an affine function gg and its graph (Δ)(\Delta). We know that g(3)g(1)=6g(3)-g(-1) = 6 and A(1;5)(Δ)A(-1; 5) \in (\Delta). We need to show that g(x)=32x+132g(x) = \frac{3}{2}x + \frac{13}{2}. We then need to calculate g(5)g(5) and g(2025)g(2020)g(2025) - g(2020). After that, we have to calculate the number whose image is 11 by the function gg. Finally, we calculate mm knowing that B(m+2;8)(Δ)B(m+2; 8) \in (\Delta). In part 3, we have to show that the lines (D)(D) and (Δ)(\Delta) are perpendicular in M(3;2)M(-3; 2).

2. Solution Steps

Part 1:
a) The graph of ff is a straight line, so ff is an affine function.
b) From the graph, we can see that when x=3x=3, f(x)=3/23+0.5=3f(x) = -3/2*3 + 0.5 = -3 approximately. So f(3)=3f(3) = -3. We are reading the value of f(3)f(3) from the given graph. Looking at the graph we can see that the line passes through the point (0,0.5)(0, 0.5) and the gradient is 1/2-1/2. When x=3,yx=3, y is near to 1-1. The point on the graph at x=3x=3 is approximately at y=1y=-1.
c) From the graph, we can see that the line passes through (0,0.5)(0, 0.5) and (1,0)(1, 0). The slope of the line is (00.5)/(10)=0.5=1/2(0-0.5)/(1-0) = -0.5 = -1/2. Thus f(x)=12x+bf(x) = -\frac{1}{2}x + b. Since the line passes through (0,0.5)(0, 0.5), we have f(0)=12(0)+b=0.5f(0) = -\frac{1}{2}(0) + b = 0.5, so b=0.5b = 0.5. Hence f(x)=12x+12f(x) = -\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{1}{2}.
Part 2:
a) g(x)g(x) is an affine function, so g(x)=ax+bg(x) = ax + b.
g(3)g(1)=(3a+b)(a+b)=4a=6g(3) - g(-1) = (3a + b) - (-a + b) = 4a = 6, so a=64=32a = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}.
Since A(1;5)(Δ)A(-1; 5) \in (\Delta), g(1)=5g(-1) = 5. Thus g(1)=a(1)+b=32+b=5g(-1) = a(-1) + b = -\frac{3}{2} + b = 5, so b=5+32=102+32=132b = 5 + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{10}{2} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{13}{2}.
Therefore g(x)=32x+132g(x) = \frac{3}{2}x + \frac{13}{2}.
b) g(5)=32(5)+132=152+132=282=14g(5) = \frac{3}{2}(5) + \frac{13}{2} = \frac{15}{2} + \frac{13}{2} = \frac{28}{2} = 14.
g(2025)g(2020)=32(2025)+132(32(2020)+132)=32(20252020)=32(5)=152g(2025) - g(2020) = \frac{3}{2}(2025) + \frac{13}{2} - (\frac{3}{2}(2020) + \frac{13}{2}) = \frac{3}{2}(2025 - 2020) = \frac{3}{2}(5) = \frac{15}{2}.
c) We want to find xx such that g(x)=11g(x) = 11.
32x+132=11\frac{3}{2}x + \frac{13}{2} = 11
32x=11132=222132=92\frac{3}{2}x = 11 - \frac{13}{2} = \frac{22}{2} - \frac{13}{2} = \frac{9}{2}
x=9223=93=3x = \frac{9}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3} = \frac{9}{3} = 3.
d) We know that B(m+2;8)(Δ)B(m+2; 8) \in (\Delta), so g(m+2)=8g(m+2) = 8.
g(m+2)=32(m+2)+132=8g(m+2) = \frac{3}{2}(m+2) + \frac{13}{2} = 8
32(m+2)=8132=162132=32\frac{3}{2}(m+2) = 8 - \frac{13}{2} = \frac{16}{2} - \frac{13}{2} = \frac{3}{2}
m+2=3223=1m+2 = \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3} = 1
m=12=1m = 1 - 2 = -1.
Part 3:
The slope of line (D)(D) is 12-\frac{1}{2}.
The slope of line (Δ)(\Delta) is 32\frac{3}{2}.
The product of the slopes is 1232=341-\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2} = -\frac{3}{4} \neq -1, so the lines are not perpendicular.
Now, we have to check if the point M(3;2)M(-3; 2) lies on both lines.
For line (D)(D), f(3)=12(3)+12=32+12=42=2f(-3) = -\frac{1}{2}(-3) + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2, so M(3;2)M(-3; 2) is on line (D)(D).
For line (Δ)(\Delta), g(3)=32(3)+132=92+132=42=2g(-3) = \frac{3}{2}(-3) + \frac{13}{2} = -\frac{9}{2} + \frac{13}{2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2, so M(3;2)M(-3; 2) is on line (Δ)(\Delta).
However, the product of the slopes is not equal to -1, so the lines aren't perpendicular.
