Worksheet 18: Curved graphs
1 Construct a table of values, selecting values from 6  x  6 , for each of the following equations. Draw
the graphs on the same set of axes.
(a) y   x 2  3 (b) y  x 2  2 x  2 (c) y  x 2  8x  16

2 This is the graph of y  x 2  4 x  3 .


Use the graph to estimate the solution of:
(a) x 2  4 x  3  0

(b) x 2  4 x  3  3
(c) x 2  4 x  1

3 By drawing up a table of values, and drawing the graphs on the same set of axes, find the approximate
solutions to the simultaneous equations 2 y  x  1 and y  x 2  4 x  3 .

4 For each of the following:


(a) complete the table of values for each equation
(b) use the points to plot each graph on a separate set of axes.

5 The graph of y  2 x 2  4 x  5 is shown on the grid.


Find the gradient of the graph:
(a) where x  2
(b) where x  2 .

6 Draw the graph of y  x 2  2 x  5 .


(a) Find the gradient of the graph at the points:
(i) (3, –2) (ii) (–2, 3)

7 (a) Draw the graph of y = 2x2 + x – 3 for –3 ≤ x ≤ 2.


(b) Use the graph to estimate the solutions to the equation 2x2 + x – 3 = 0.
(c) On the same axes above draw the line with equation y = 2x + 1.
(d) Write down the co-ordinates of all points on intersection between the two graphs.
(e) Explain why the x co-ordinates of the points of intersection are, in fact, the solutions to the equation
2x2 – x – 4 = 0.
