Part a· 3 steps
Draw the graph of taking the values of in the interval .
Create a table of values for for the given interval.
-2 8 6 -5 9 -1 2 3 -5 0 0 0 0 -5 -5 1 2 -3 -5 -6 2 8 -6 -5 -3 3 18 -9 -5 4 4 32 -12 -5 15 Plot the points from the table on the graph paper.
Draw a smooth curve through the plotted points to represent the graph of .
Part b
Use the graph to solve the equation .
To solve using the graph, find the -intercepts of the curve , which are the points where .
From the table of values and by observing where the curve crosses the -axis:
The curve crosses the -axis at and .
Part c
Using a suitable straight line, solve the equation .
Relate the given equation to the graph equation .
Subtract the target equation from the graph equation:
The suitable straight line to draw is .
Create a table of values for the straight line .
-2 -6 0 -2 2 2 4 6 Plot these points and draw the straight line on the same graph as the curve.
Identify the -coordinates of the intersection points between the curve and the straight line .
These -coordinates are the solutions to .
By observing the intersection points on the graph, the line intersects the curve at approximately and .
