Sketch the curve y = (2x - 5)(2x + 1) for −1 ≤ x ≤ 3, stating the coordinates of the where the curve meets the coordinate axes.
- (i)Sketch the curve y = (2x - 5)(2x + 1) for −1 ≤ x ≤ 3, stating the coordinates of the where the curve meets the coordinate axes.[4]
- (ii)State the coordinates of the stationary point on the curve.[1]
- (iii)Using your answers to parts (i) and (ii), sketch the curve y = |(2x - 5)(2x+1)| for −1 ≤ x ≤ 3.[2]
