Part 1
First pattern has been designed for you. You are required to find the functions and the circle used for this design, based on the description below.
The following functions/relations have been used to design this pattern:
- one logarithmic function and its inverse
- two cubic functions
- one circle
Recommended function types:
Mathematical rules used for this design:
(i) the four functions start at the origin.
(ii) logarithmic function and its exponential inverse end at
(iii) logarithmic function has
(iv) the point of inflection of the top cubic (green function) is located at
(v) the maximum value of the top cubic (green function) aligns vertically with the stationary point of inflection of the bottom cubic (blue function)
(vi) the minimum point of the top cubic (green function) is located at
(vii) the area of the circle is one third of the area between the two cubic functions and its centre aligns with the minimum point of the top cubic.
(viii) the two cubic functions always meet on the logarithmic function.
Based on the above information find:
1. The four functions and the equation of the circle.
2. Calculate the areas between each curve combination (use of technology indicated).
Refer to the cubic functions found from above rules. Assume that their respective found and values do not change.

By varying only their leading coefficients, and respectively, investigate:
3. The change in the area between the two cubic functions with respect to the total area (area between the logarithm and the exponential function).
4. How and vary as the area between the two cubic functions approaches a maximum or a minimum.
Hence,
5. Find two cubic functions such that the area between them is of the total area(area between the logarithm and the exponential function).
