Mathematics
WAEC 2017

(a) Copy and complete the table of values for the equation \(y = 2x^{2} - 7x - 9\) for \(-3 \leq x \leq 6\).

x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
y   13   -9 -14   -12   6  

(b) Using scales of 2cm to 1 unit on the x- axis and 2cm to 4 units on the y- axis, draw the graphs of \(y = 2x^{2} - 7x - 9\) for \(-3 \leq x \leq 6\).

(c) Use the graph to estimate the :

(i) roots of the equation \(2x^{2} - 7x = 26\);

(ii) coordinates of the minimum point of y;

(iii) range of values for which \(2x^{2} - 7x < 9\).

Explanation

(a) 

x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
y 30 13 0 -9 -14 -15 -12 -5 6 21

(b)

 

 

(c) (i) From the graph, the roots of the equation 2x\(^2\) - 7x = 26 can be obtained by drawing a line through y = 17 to meet the curve 2x\(^2\) - 7x - 9.

The roots of the equation 2x\(^2\) - 7x = 26 : -2.2 and 5.8.

(ii) The coordinates of the minimum point of y : 1.8, -15.

(iii) The range of values for which 2x\(^{2}\) - 7x < 9 : - 0.9 < x < 4.5.
