y -5.375 -5 -2.125 4
[ 2 marks available - 2 marks for all answers correct otherwise 1 mark for 2 correct answers ]

b)

[ 2 marks available = 1 mark for plotting correct points, 1 mark for joining them with smooth
curve] suitable axis.
c) Reading off the graph where the curve intersects the x-axis x= -0.9, x= 1.2 and x= 3.7 [ 1
mark ]
Mark will be awarded if answer is within 0.1 of the answer

3) Find the equation of the line that should be drawn:
X2 + x = 6
X2 + x -5 = 1
X2 + 2x -5 = x + 1
So draw the line y= x + 1 to find the solutions [ 1 mark ]

4a) [ 1 mark for correct graph shape, 1 mark for correct position, 2 marks available in total]
[ graph shifted upwards by one unit]

b) x = 90 - 30 = 60 and x= 270 - 30 = 240

[ 2 marks available - 1 mark for each correct answer ]
