Question 1 Report
(a) Copy and complete the table of values for the relation \(y = 3x^{2} - 5x - 7\).
| x | -3 | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| y | 35 | -7 | -9 | 5 |
(b) Using scales of 2 cm to 1 unit on the x- axis and 2 cm to 5 units on the y- axis, draw the graph of \(y = 3x^{2} - 5x - 7, -3 \leq x \leq 4\).
(c) From the graph : (i) find the roots of the equation \(3x^{2} - 5x - 7 = 0\) ; (ii) estimate the minimum value of y ; (iii) calculate the gradient of the curve at the point x = 2.
