1. The diagrams show five different graphs, each for values of x such that −a ≤ x ≤ a where a is a
constant.
(i) State which diagram does not show the graph of a function. Justify your answer. [2]
(ii) State which diagram shows the graph of a function which is not 1-1. Justify your answer. [2]
(iii) It is given that two of the diagrams illustrate function which are inverses of each other.
Identify these two diagrams. [1]
(iv) The graph in Fig. ¿ siu5 has equation y=f (x ). Sketch the graph of y=|f (x )|. [1]
