Part a· 3 steps

Draw the graph of y=2x2−3x−5y = 2x^2 - 3x - 5 taking the values of xx in the interval −2≤x≤4-2 \le x \le 4.

  1. Create a table of values for y=2x2−3x−5y = 2x^2 - 3x - 5 for the given interval.

    y=2x2−3x−5y = 2x^2 - 3x - 5
    xx2x22x^2−3x-3x−5-5yy
    -286-59
    -123-50
    000-5-5
    12-3-5-6
    28-6-5-3
    318-9-54
    432-12-515
  2. Plot the points from the table on the graph paper.

  3. Draw a smooth curve through the plotted points to represent the graph of y=2x2−3x−5y = 2x^2 - 3x - 5.

Part b

−1 or 2.5-1 \text{ or } 2.5

Use the graph to solve the equation 2x2−3x−5=02x^2 - 3x - 5 = 0.

To solve 2x2−3x−5=02x^2 - 3x - 5 = 0 using the graph, find the xx-intercepts of the curve y=2x2−3x−5y = 2x^2 - 3x - 5, which are the points where y=0y=0.
From the table of values and by observing where the curve crosses the xx-axis:
The curve crosses the xx-axis at x=−1x = -1 and x=2.5x = 2.5.

x=−1 or 2.5x = \boxed{-1 \text{ or } 2.5}

Part c

−0.5 or 3-0.5 \text{ or } 3

Using a suitable straight line, solve the equation 2x2−5x−3=02x^2 - 5x - 3 = 0.

  1. Relate the given equation 2x2−5x−3=02x^2 - 5x - 3 = 0 to the graph equation y=2x2−3x−5y = 2x^2 - 3x - 5.

    Subtract the target equation from the graph equation:

    (2x2−3x−5)−(2x2−5x−3)=y−0(2x^2 - 3x - 5) - (2x^2 - 5x - 3) = y - 0 2x2−3x−5−2x2+5x+3=y2x^2 - 3x - 5 - 2x^2 + 5x + 3 = y 2x−2=y2x - 2 = y

    The suitable straight line to draw is y=2x−2y = 2x - 2.

  2. Create a table of values for the straight line y=2x−2y = 2x - 2.

    xxy=2x−2y = 2x - 2
    -2-6
    0-2
    22
    46
  3. Plot these points and draw the straight line y=2x−2y = 2x - 2 on the same graph as the curve.

  4. Identify the xx-coordinates of the intersection points between the curve y=2x2−3x−5y = 2x^2 - 3x - 5 and the straight line y=2x−2y = 2x - 2.

    These xx-coordinates are the solutions to 2x2−5x−3=02x^2 - 5x - 3 = 0.
    By observing the intersection points on the graph, the line y=2x−2y = 2x - 2 intersects the curve y=2x2−3x−5y = 2x^2 - 3x - 5 at approximately x=−0.5x = -0.5 and x=3x = 3.

    x=−0.5 or 3x = \boxed{-0.5 \text{ or } 3}
