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 \(2x^{2} - 5x + 1 = x + 6\).

(a) distance between P and Q along their parallel of latitude ;

(b) distance between Q and T along their line of longitudes;

(c) average speed at which the aeroplane will fly from P to T via Q, if the journey takes 12 hours, correct to 3 significant figures. [Take the radius of the earth = 6400km ; \(\pi = 3.142\)]
