3.106 diagram
(a)
The diagram shows the graph of y=f(x)y = f(x), where f(x)f(x) is a cubic. Find the possible expressions for f(x)f(x).

(b)(i)
On the axes, sketch the graphs of y=2x+1y = |2x + 1| and y=4x1y = 4|x - 1|, stating the coordinates of the points where the graphs meet the coordinate axes.
