Let's solve Question 3.

Part 3

Given the function f(x)=3+2x−x2f(x) = 3+2x-x^2 defined on R\mathbb{R}, the set of real numbers.

Part a· 1 step

Using a scale of 2 cm2 \, \text{cm} for 1 unit1 \, \text{unit} on both axes, draw the graph of y=f(x)y = f(x) for range −2≤x≤4-2 \le x \le 4.

  1. Create a table of values for y=3+2x−x2y = 3+2x-x^2 for xx from −2-2 to 4.

    • For x=−2x = -2: y=3+2(−2)−(−2)2=3−4−4=−5y = 3 + 2(-2) - (-2)^2 = 3 - 4 - 4 = -5
    • For x=−1x = -1: y=3+2(−1)−(−1)2=3−2−1=0y = 3 + 2(-1) - (-1)^2 = 3 - 2 - 1 = 0
    • For x=0x = 0: y=3+2(0)−(0)2=3+0−0=3y = 3 + 2(0) - (0)^2 = 3 + 0 - 0 = 3
    • For x=1x = 1: y=3+2(1)−(1)2=3+2−1=4y = 3 + 2(1) - (1)^2 = 3 + 2 - 1 = 4
    • For x=2x = 2: y=3+2(2)−(2)2=3+4−4=3y = 3 + 2(2) - (2)^2 = 3 + 4 - 4 = 3
    • For x=3x = 3: y=3+2(3)−(3)2=3+6−9=0y = 3 + 2(3) - (3)^2 = 3 + 6 - 9 = 0
    • For x=4x = 4: y=3+2(4)−(4)2=3+8−16=−5y = 3 + 2(4) - (4)^2 = 3 + 8 - 16 = -5

    The table of values is:

    x−2−101234y−503430−5\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline x & -2 & -1 & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ \hline y & -5 & 0 & 3 & 4 & 3 & 0 & -5 \\ \hline \end{array}

    Plot these points on a graph paper using the specified scale (2 cm2 \, \text{cm} for 1 unit1 \, \text{unit} on both axes) and draw a smooth curve through them.

Part b

x=−1,x=3x = -1, x = 3

From the graph, find the solution of f(x)=0f(x) = 0.

  1. To find the solution of f(x)=0f(x) = 0 from the graph, identify the xx-intercepts (where the curve crosses the xx-axis).

    From the table of values, we see that y=0y=0 when x=−1x=-1 and x=3x=3.
    Analytically, we solve 3+2x−x2=03+2x-x^2 = 0:

    x2−2x−3=0x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0 (x−3)(x+1)=0(x-3)(x+1) = 0 x−3=0orx+1=0x-3 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x+1 = 0 x=3orx=−1x = 3 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -1

    The solutions are x=−1,x=3\boxed{x = -1, x = 3}.
