8 The function f is defined as follows:

f :x ln x2 + 2 x + 1 for x  , x  0.

Another function g, defined for x  , has the following properties:

• The function g is a continuous decreasing function with g(0) = −1.
• The graph of y = g( x) has exactly one asymptote. The equation of this asymptote is y = 0.

(a) Sketch, on separate diagrams, the graph of y = f ( x) and a possible graph for y = g( x). [4]

(b) Explain why the composite function fg exists and find the corresponding range of fg. [2]

(d) If the domain of f is further restricted to x  k , state the least value of k for which the
function f −1 exists. Verify that f (1) = 3 and use this result to find the gradient of the tangent
to the curve y = f −1 ( x) at x = 3. [4]

Intravenous (IV) fluids are specially formulated liquids that are injected into one of the veins of
patients for medical treatment. The fluids are contained in a bag connected to an IV tube. The rate
of flow of IV fluids into the body is regulated either manually or using an electric pump.

Figure 1 shows an IV fluid bag, modelled by a cylindrical and a conical section. The bag is initially
filled with fluid. The radius of the cylinder and the cone is 4 cm. The heights of the cylindrical
and conical sections are 20 cm and 4 cm respectively. The height from the apex of the cone to the
fluid level is h cm.

(a) Fluid is to be delivered to the patient at a rate of 50 cm3 per hour. Determine the value of h
and the volume of IV fluid left in the bag when h is decreasing at a rate of 1.21 cm per hour.
[5]

Once the IV fluid enters the body, it is mixed with the blood and circulated through the blood
vascular system (arteries, capillaries and veins). Due to the viscous nature of blood and friction
with the blood vessel walls, resistance to blood flow is generated. To measure this resistance, the
blood vessel is modelled as a cylinder with length L and radius r. The resistance R is given by the
equation
L
R =   4 ,

where  is a positive constant determined by the viscosity of the blood in the body.

Figure 2 shows a main blood vessel with radius r1, branching at an acute angle of  into a smaller
blood vessel with radius r2. The length AD is given as m while the length CD is given as k.
