Answer
To show that the x coordinates correspond to solutions of the equation, we first differentiate the function:
Differentiate the Function:
Using the quotient rule, we have: f′(x)=(ex−1)2(ex−1)(8cos2x)−(4sin2x)(2x−11ex−1)
Set the Derivative to Zero:
Setting the derivative equal to zero and simplifying gives us the conditions for maximum and minimum points.
This results in the use of the trigonometric identity.
Solve for x:
We proceed by solving the equation tan2x=2
This gives us critical points which are angles where the tangent equals rac{\sqrt{2}}{1}. The basic solution can be noted as:
2x=4π+nπ,n∈Z
Dividing through by 2 leads to:
x=8π+2nπ.
From the domain 0≤x≤π, we identify valid x coordinates for points P and Q.

Answer
To find the minimum turning point of the curve y=f(2x), we first substitute 2x back into the solved x values from part (a).
Using x=8π for minimum point Q, we calculate:
xnew=8π/2=16π
Thus, the x-coordinate of the minimum turning point on the transformed curve is approximately 0.196.
Step 3
(ii) Find the $x$-coordinate of the minimum turning point on the curve with equation $y = 3 - 2f(x)$

Answer
For this curve, the transformation does not change the x coordinate, but the y coordinate affects the behavior at turning points. From part (a), we know the minimum occurs at x=4π. Thus, the x-coordinate is the same as in original curve, yielding:
