Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Plot the graph of y = 2x + 1 and y = x^2 - 4. Determine the coordinates of their intersection points.
[3 marks]2.
Using the graph from Question 1, estimate the x-values where the curves intersect.
[2 marks]3.
Construct a graph showing y = -x^2 + 3x and y = 4x - 1. Find the intersection points.
[3 marks]4.
Plot the graph of y = x^2 and y = 2x + 3. Use the graph to find approximate solutions to the simultaneous equations.
[3 marks]5.
A car's path is modeled by y = -x^2 + 4x, and its route is also described by y = 2x + 1. Sketch both graphs and find where the paths intersect.
[4 marks]6.
Plot y = x^2 - 2x and y = -x + 3. Identify the approximate intersection points and verify algebraically.
[3 marks]7.
Plot y = 3x^2 - x and y = 2x + 5. How many solutions do the graphs have? Estimate their x-values.
[2 marks]8.
Construct the graphs of y = x^2 + 4x + 3 and y = -x^2 + 2x + 1. Find their intersection points.
[3 marks]9.
On the grid, plot y = x^2 and y = 4x - 3. Use the graph to estimate the solutions to the simultaneous equations.
[3 marks]10.
Error Analysis: Common mistake is to incorrectly identify intersection points or to misplot the graphs. Look at the graph of y = x^2 + 2x and y = 3x + 4. What is a common mistake students might make, and how can it be corrected?
