(a) Copy and complete the table of values for the relation \(y = 5 - 7x - 6x^{2}\) for \(-3 \leq x \leq 2\).

x-3-2-1-0.5012
y-2865

(b) Using a scale of 2cm to 1 unit on the x- axis and 2cm to 5 units on the y- axis, draw the :

(i) graph of \(y = 5 - 7x - 6x^{2}\) ; (ii) line \(y = 3\) on the same axis.

(c) Use your graph to find the : (i) roots of the equation \(2 - 7x - 6x^{2} = 0\) ; (ii) maximum value of \(y = 5 - 7x - 6x^{2}\).

Explanation

x-3-2-1-0.5012
y-28-5675-8-33

(b)(i)using the graph to find roots of quadratic equation

(c)(i) \(2 - 7x - 6x^{2} = 0\)

\(2 + 3 - 7x - 6x^{2} = 3\)

\(5 - 7x - 6x^{2} = 3\)

\(\therefore \text{the roots at y = 3 are } x = -1.4; 0.2\)

(ii) Maximum value of \(y = 5 - 7x - 6x^{2}\) is y = 7.
