Answer
To sketch the graph of y=f(x+3), you will translate the original graph of y=f(x) to the left by 3 units. This shift affects only the horizontal position of the graph, maintaining its shape and vertical position, resulting in a new graph that starts and ends at the same respective vertical points but is horizontally displaced.
Step 2
Draw separate one-third page sketches of the graphs of the following: (ii) $y = |f(x)|$

Answer
For the graph of y=∣f(x)∣, reflect any parts of the graph of f(x) that are below the x-axis. The resulting graph will be non-negative, illustrating the distances of f(x) above the x-axis, while preserving the sections of the graph that are above it. Identify points of intersection and ensure continuity where relevant.
Step 3

Answer
To sketch y=f(x), first determine where f(x) is non-negative, as the square root function is only defined for non-negative inputs. Where f(x)>0, plot the square root values, preserving the shape but compressing the vertical distance of the graph. Where f(x)<0, there will be no graph in those regions.

Answer
The graph of y=f(∣x∣) entails reflecting the portion of the graph of f(x) that lies to the right of the y-axis across the y-axis to the left side. This graph will reflect symmetry about the y-axis for any parts of f(x) that are defined on positive x.
Step 5
Sketch the graph of $y = x + \frac{8x}{x^2 - 9}$, clearly indicating any asymptotes and points where the graph meets the axes.

Answer
To sketch this graph, first find the vertical asymptotes by setting the denominator x2−9=0, which gives x=3 and x=−3. Identify horizontal behavior as x→±∞ for the end behavior of the graph. Evaluate y-intercepts by checking x=0, resulting in (0,0). Mark the asymptotes and intercepts on the graph to illustrate the overall behavior.

Answer
To find the normal, implicitly differentiate the equation to find rac{dy}{dx}. At the point (2,1), substitute these values to calculate the slope of the tangent line. The normal line's slope will be the negative reciprocal of this slope. Finally, using the point-slope form and the given point, write the equation of the normal line.
Step 7
By resolving $N$ in the horizontal and vertical directions, show that $N = m \sqrt{g^2 + \frac{v^4}{r^2}}$.

Answer
To solve for N, resolve the forces acting at point P. The vertical forces yield the equation mg=Nsin(θ) and the horizontal forces yield Ncos(θ)=rmv2. Substituting to eliminate N, manipulate the resulting equations to arrive at the required expression N=mg2+r2v4.
