Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Plot the graph of y = 2x + 1. Label the line.
[2 marks]
2.
Plot the graph of y = x² - 3. Label the parabola.
[2 marks]
3.
Using the grid, find the point where y=2x+1 and y=x² - 3 intersect.
[3 marks]
4.
Construct the graphs of y = -x + 4 and y = (x-2)² - 1 on the same grid. Find their point(s) of intersection.
[3 marks]
5.
Plot y = x² + 2x. Draw the curve clearly.
[2 marks]
B

Problem Solving & Reasoning

Use your graph to solve the problems. Show all steps.
1.
The line y = -x + 5 intersects with the parabola y = x² - 1. Find the approximate coordinates of the intersection point(s). Explain how you found it using the graph.
[4 marks]
2.
A roller coaster track follows y = x² - 4x + 3. The height y in meters. Construct the graph for x from 0 to 4, then determine where the height is 0.5 meters.
[4 marks]
3.
Explain how the shape of the quadratic affects the number of solutions when intersected with a line.
[3 marks]
C

Real-world Applications

Use the graph to interpret the problem and answer.
1.
A car's speed increases following y = x²/4 + 10, where y is speed in km/h and x is time in seconds. A linear line y = 2x + 10 represents a different speed pattern. Graph both from x=0 to 10 seconds. When do the speeds match?

D

Challenge & Extension

Tackle these advanced questions to deepen your understanding.
1.
Construct the graphs of y = x² - 2x - 3 and y = 3x - 4. Using the graph, estimate the solutions to the equations. Then, explain how the quadratic's vertex influences the number of solutions.
[4 marks]
2.
Design a quadratic function y = ax² + bx + c that intersects the line y = x + 2 at exactly two points, one point, and no points. Sketch the graphs on the grid.
[4 marks]
E

Mixed Review & Error Analysis

Review your work carefully. Identify and correct mistakes if any.
1.
A student plots y=2x+1 and y=(x-1)²+3 but mistakenly labels the parabola as y=x²+3. Identify the error and explain how it affects finding the intersection points.
[3 marks]
2.
A graph shows a line y=3x+2 and a parabola y= x² - 4x + 1. The student claims they intersect at (2, 8). Check this claim and correct if necessary.
[3 marks]
