Question 9

  1. If y = 2x2 – 5x + 3 is expressed in the form y = p(x + q)2 + r, where p, q and r are
    constants, find (q + r).

  2. Find the area enclosed by the curves y = x2 – 3x + 2 and y = – x2 + 3x + 2.
  3.  

Observation

 

The Chief Examiner reported that candidates performed fairly well while attempting this
