applies vertical stretch parallel to the y-axis factor of \(\frac{1}{3}\) (M1)
e.g. multiply by \(\frac{1}{3}\) , \(\frac{1}{3}f(t)\) , \(\frac{1}{3} \times 2\)

Note: The shape must be an approximately correct upwards parabola.
Only if the shape is approximately correct, award the following:

Question
Let \(f(x) = \ln x\) and \(g(x) = 3 + \ln \left( {\frac{x}{2}} \right)\), for \(x > 0\).
The graph of \(g\) can be obtained from the graph of \(f\) by two transformations:
\[\begin{array}{*{20}{l}} {{\text{a horizontal stretch of scale factor }}q{\text{ followed by}}} \\ {{\text{a translation of }}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} h \\ k \end{array}} \right).} \end{array}\]
Let \(h(x) = g(x) \times \cos (0.1x)\), for \(0 < x < 4\). The following diagram shows the graph of \(h\) and the line \(y = x\).
The graph of \(h\) intersects the graph of \({h^{ – 1}}\) at two points. These points have \(x\) coordinates 0.111 and 3.31 correct to three significant figures.
Write down the value of \(q\);
Write down the value of \(h\);
Write down the value of \(k\).
Find \(\int_{0.111}^{3.31} {\left( {h(x) – x} \right){\text{d}}x} \).
Hence, find the area of the region enclosed by the graphs of \(h\) and \({h^{ – 1}}\).
Let \(d\) be the vertical distance from a point on the graph of \(h\) to the line \(y = x\). There is a point \({\text{P}}(a,{\text{ }}b)\) on the graph of \(h\) where \(d\) is a maximum.
