Question 13

The table below shows the values of the relation \(y = 11 - 2x - 2x^{2}\) for \(-4 \leq x \leq 3\).

x -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
y -13       11      

(a) Copy and complete the table.

(b) Using a scale of 2 cm to 1 unit on the x- axis and 2 cm to 5 units on the y- axis, draw the graph of \(y = 11 - 2x - 2x^{2}\).

(c) Use your graph to find : (i) the roots of the equation \(11 - 2x - 2x^{2} = 0\) ; (ii) the values of x for which \(3 - 2x - 2x^{2} = 0\) ; (iii) the gradient of the curve at x = 1.
