    Consider the function f defined by f(x)=√x+m​+n where n,m∈R.

    1. Find f′(x).

      [1]

    Now consider the function g(x)=ex+2n. The graphs of f and g share a tangent at x=1.

    1. Show that m=4e21​−1.

      [3]
    2. Hence, find the value of n.

    Consider the function f defined by f(x)=3(x−h)2+k where h,k∈R.

    1. Find f′(x).

      [1]

    Now consider the function g(x)=ex−1−k. The graphs of f and g share a tangent at x=2.

    1. Show that h=612−e​.

      [3]
    2. Hence, find the value of k.
