Jan 2019 # 8(a)

(i) Complete the table below for the function f(x) = 3 + 2x – x2.
x -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
f(x) 0 3 4 0 -5

(ii) Complete the grid below to show all the points in the table and hence, draw
the graph of the function f(x) = 3 + 2x – x2 for -2 < x < 4.

(iii) Using your graph determine

a) the coordinates of the maximum point of f(x).
b) the range of values of x for which f(x) > 0
c) the gradient of f(x) at x = 1.

The table below is designed to show the values of x and y for the function
y = x2 – 2x -3 for integer values of x from -2 to 4.
x -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
f(x) 5 -3 -4 -3 5

(a) Complete the table for the function y = x2 – 2x -3.

(b) Plot the graph of y = x2 – 2x -3 using a scale of 2cm to represent 1 unit on

the x-axis and 1cm to represent 1 unit on the y-axis.

(c) On the graph, draw a smooth curve passing through the points on your
graph.

(d) Complete the following sentences using the information from your graph.
(i) The values of x for which x2 – 2x -3 = 0 are ……….. and …………
(ii) The minimum value of x2 – 2x -3 is ……………..
(iii) The equation of the line of symmetry of the graph of y = x2 – 2x -3
is …………….
