Part a· 3 steps

Solve the equation −(x+2)2+9=0-(x+2)^2 + 9 = 0.

  1. Isolate the squared term.

    −(x+2)2=−9-(x+2)^2 = -9 (x+2)2=9(x+2)^2 = 9
  2. Take the square root of both sides.

    x+2=±9x+2 = \pm\sqrt{9} x+2=±3x+2 = \pm3
  3. Solve for xx.

    For x+2=3x+2 = 3:

    x=3−2x = 3 - 2 x=1x = 1

    For x+2=−3x+2 = -3:

    x=−3−2x = -3 - 2 x=−5x = -5

    The solutions are x=1x=1 and x=−5x=-5.

    x=1,x=−5\boxed{x=1, x=-5}

Part b

C=(2,0)C=(2,0)

The diagram shows a sketch of the graph of y=3x2−6xy = 3x^2 - 6x. The graph has its turning point at A.

b)(i) Find the coordinates of C.
Point C is an x-intercept, which means y=0y=0.
Set y=0y=0 in the equation y=3x2−6xy = 3x^2 - 6x:

3x2−6x=03x^2 - 6x = 0
  1. Factor out the common term.

    3x(x−2)=03x(x - 2) = 0
  2. Set each factor to zero to find the x-intercepts.

    3x=0  ⟹  x=03x = 0 \implies x = 0 x−2=0  ⟹  x=2x - 2 = 0 \implies x = 2

    The graph shows that C is the x-intercept other than the origin. Therefore, the x-coordinate of C is 2.
    The coordinates of C are (2,0)(2, 0).

    C=(2,0)\boxed{C=(2,0)}

    b)(ii) Find the coordinates of A.
    Point A is the turning point (vertex) of the parabola y=3x2−6xy = 3x^2 - 6x.
    For a quadratic equation y=ax2+bx+cy = ax^2 + bx + c, the x-coordinate of the vertex is given by x=−b2ax = \frac{-b}{2a}.
    In this equation, a=3a=3, b=−6b=-6, and c=0c=0.

  3. Calculate the x-coordinate of the vertex.

    x=−(−6)2(3)x = \frac{-(-6)}{2(3)} x=66x = \frac{6}{6} x=1x = 1
  4. Substitute the x-coordinate back into the equation to find the y-coordinate.

    y=3(1)2−6(1)y = 3(1)^2 - 6(1) y=3(1)−6y = 3(1) - 6 y=3−6y = 3 - 6 y=−3y = -3

    The coordinates of A are (1,−3)(1, -3).

    A=(1,−3)\boxed{A=(1,-3)}
