2. B I is the graph for a > 1.
II is the graph if 0 < a < 1.
III is not a possible graph, since y = loga x must not pass through the origin.
3. C A: Could be the graph of y = ax for a > 1.
B: Could be the graph of y = ax for 0 < a < 1.
C: Could be the graph of y = loga x for a > 1.
D: Could be the graph of y = loga x for 0 < a < 1.
4. B The given figure is a graph of y = loga x, where 0 < a < 1.

Part 9 – Find value
1. (a) Sub (1, 2) and (2, 4) into the equation, we have
2 = ka
4 = ka
2
Solving, we have a = 2 and k = 1.
(b) f (x) = kax = 2x
Given that f (x1) = 2 f (x2),
2x1 = 2 2 x2
2x1 − x2 = 2
x1 − x2 = 1
2. (a) AC = y1, BD = y2.
Area of trapezium ABCD =
( y1 + y2 )CD = 771
2 2
y1 + y2 =
771 = 771
CD 4
(b) A( x1,3 4x1 ), B( x1 + 4,3 4x1 +4 )
3 4x1 + 3 4 x1 +4 = y1 + y2
771
3 4x1 + 3 4 x1 +4 =

4x1 + 4x1 +4 =

x1 = −1
x2 = x1 + 4 = 3
Thus, we have A(–1, 0.75) and B(3, 192).

3. Let A(a, 2 log 1 a) and B(b, 2 log 1 b).
3 3
AC = a, BD = b .
Area of trapezium CDBA =
(a + b)CD = 28 ,

a+b=

Meanwhile, 2 log 1 a – 2 log 1 b = CD = 6,

Solving (1) and (2), we have

a = , b = 3.

Thus, we have A , 4 and B(3, –2).

4. Let A(a, 3 log3 a) and B(b, 3 log3 b).
Area of trapezium ABCD =
( AD + BC )(CD) = (a + b)(3log3 a − 3log3 b)
2 2
Area of △ABE =
( BE )( AE ) = (a − b)(3log3 a − 3log3 b)
2 2
Thus,
5 = Area of ABCD = a + b ,
4 Area of ABE a − b
a = 9b
Hence,
AE = 3 log3 a – 3 log3 b
= 3 log3 9b – 3 log3 b
= 3 log3
