Question 10

(a) Copy and complete the table of values for the relation \(y = -x^{2} + x + 2; -3 \leq x \leq 3\).

x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
y   -4   2     -4

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

(c) From the graph, find the : (i) minimum value of y ; (ii) roots of equation \(x^{2} - x - 2 = 0\) ; (iii) gradient of the curve at x = -0.5.
