Let f(x)=3x−2+1f(x)=3^{x-2}+1. (i) Describe step by step how the graph of y=3xy=3^{x} can be transformed to obtain the graph of y=f(x)y=f(x). (ii) Sketch the graph of y=f(x)y=f(x) on the Cartesian plane, marking clearly: (a) at least three distinct points that lie on the curve, (b) all intercepts with the coordinate axes, (c) the equation of its asymptote. (iii) Find the inverse function f−1(x)f^{-1}(x). (iv) On the same set of axes, sketch the graph of y=f−1(x)y=f^{-1}(x) and label the point where the two graphs intersect.
