Question 1 Report
(a) Copy and complete the table of values for the relation \(y = 5 - 7x - 6x^{2}\) for \(-3 \leq x \leq 2\).
x | -3 | -2 | -1 | -0.5 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
y | -28 | 6 | 5 |
(b) Using a scale of 2cm to 1 unit on the x- axis and 2cm to 5 units on the y- axis, draw the :
(i) graph of \(y = 5 - 7x - 6x^{2}\) ; (ii) line \(y = 3\) on the same axis.
(c) Use your graph to find the : (i) roots of the equation \(2 - 7x - 6x^{2} = 0\) ; (ii) maximum value of \(y = 5 - 7x - 6x^{2}\).
