The function f is such that f ( x )  2 x  2 .
When the graph of f is drawn, it has a minimum point at (3, –7).

(a) Show that f ( x )  x 2  2 x  3 and hence find f ( x ) . [6]


(b) Find f (0) , f ( 1) and f ( 1) [3]
(c) Hence sketch the graph of f labelling it with the information obtained in part (b). [4]
(Note: It is not necessary to find the coordinates of the points where the graph
cuts the x -axis.)
