Solution to Question 5

(a)
x –1 3
y 9 5

(b)
y

y = 3 + 4x
15
13
10

y = 14 + 3x – 2x2
5

–2.6 2.1
x
–4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4
–2.8
–5

–10

–15

(c) (i) When y = –10, x = –2.8

(ii) When x = 1.8, y = 13
11
(d) Equation to be solved: 2x = –1
x
2x2 = 11 – x
0 = 11 – x – 2x2 …(1)

Equation of the graph drawn in (b): y = 14 + 3x – 2x2 …(2)

(2) – (1): y = 3 + 4x

Based on the graph, x = –2.6, 2.1

Solution to Question 6

(a)
x –4 3
y –11 –4

(b), (d) y

20
y = x3 – 12x + 5

15

10
y = 2x + 1

–3.9
x
–4 –3 –2 –1 0 0.3 1 2 3 3.6 4

–5

–10
(d)
y = –15
–15
y = –10x

(c) Equation of the graph drawn in (b): y = x3 – 12x + 5 …(1)

Equation to be solved: 0 = x3 – 14x + 4 …(2)

(1) – (2): y = 2x + 1

Based on the graph, x = –3.9, 0.3, 3.6
