Answer:
(a) P(3, -8), Q(1, -12)
(b)
(i) x = -1, 4
(ii) x = 1, 2
(c) Drawn Below, refer to the red line. Equation: x = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Equation's:
- y = 2x² -6x - 8
- y = 2x - 14
Part A
Coordinates of points: P(3, -8), Q(1, -12)
Part B
From the graph identify:
(i) 2x² - 6x - 8 = 0 || Solution: x = -1, 4
(ii) 2x² - 6x = -4 || Solution: x = 1, 2
Part C
Symmetry of a parabola is at the middle, dividing the curve in equal parts.
Equation: x = 1.5
