Nov 2004 Q7)a)i)
1x(4)^2+(-2)(4)+(-3)
= 5
ii)Solve the Equation (x^2-2x-3)
Answer = (x-3)(x+1)
              X=3 or X=-1
So cordinates for K (-1,0) and for L it is (3,0)
III) -b divided by 2a
     -(-2)/(2x1)
          X=1                   Subsitite X in the Equation and find Y = -4
Hence Cordinates is (1,-4)
B)it will become upside down simple enough
ii)if there is no Y-intercept then the GRAPH SHOULD PASS THROUGH THE ORIGIN
C)C=0
 II)(3,0) and (4,8) Equation is Y=ax^2+Bx     
0=A(3^2)+3B
8=A(4^2)+4b                 THEN SOLVE SITMIELOUSLY
                                      A=2
                                      B=-6
