a) Complete the table below for the equation y = x 3 3x 2 9x
Question:
- a) Complete the table below for the equation y = x3 – 3x2 – 9x + 2.
x | -3 | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
y = x3 – 3x2 – 9x + 2 | 2 | -25 |
(2 Marks)
b) On the grid provided draw the graph of y = x3 – 3x2 – 9x + 2 for -3 < x < 5.
Use the scale: 1cm rep 1 unit on x – axis
1cm rep 5 units on y – axis (3 marks)
- i) Use your graph to solve the equation
x3 – 3x2 – 9x + 2 = 0 (2 marks)
ii) By drawing a suitable straight line on the graph solve the equation.
x3 – 3x2 – 9x + 2 = -2x – 4 (3 marks)
