Mathematics
WAEC 1990

The following is an incomplete table for the relation \(y = 2x^{2} - 5x + 1\)

x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
y     8 1   -1     26

(a) Copy and complete the table.

(b) Using a scale of 2cm to 1 unit on the x- axis and 2cm to 10 units on the y- axis, draw the graph of the relation \(y = 2x^{2} - 5x + 1\) for \(-3 \leq x \leq 5\).

(c) Using the same scale and axes, draw the graph of \(y = x + 6\).

(d) Estimate from your graphs, correct to one decimal place : (i) the least value of y and the value of x for which it occurs ; (ii) the solution of the equation \(2x^{2} - 5x + 1 = x + 6\).

Explanation

(a) \(y = 2x^{2} - 5x + 1\)

x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
y 34 19 8 1 -2 -1 4 13 26

 

Table of value for \(y = x + 6\)

x -2 0 2
y 4 6 8

(b) 

(d) (i) Least value of y = -2 occurs at x = 1

(ii) Solution of \(2x^{2} - 5x + 1 = x + 6\) are x = -0.7 and x = 3.7.
