Question 1 Report
(a) Copy and complete the following table of values for the relation \(y = 2x^{2} - 7x - 3\).
x | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
y | 19 | -3 | -9 |
(b) Using 2 cm to 1 unit on the x- axis and 2 cm to 5 units on the y- axis, draw the graph of \(y = 2x^{2} - 7x - 3\) for \(-2 \leq x \leq 5\).
(c) From your graph, find the : (i) minimum value of y ;
(ii) gradient of the curve at x = 1.
(d) By drawing a suitable straight line, find the values of x for which \(2x^{2} - 7x - 5 = x + 4\).
