there u go:

a)iii) K(-1,0) and L(3,0)
       M lies on the line of symmetry so the the point on the x-axis along this line of symmetry will be the mid-point of the line KL
       Mid point = ((x₂+x₁)/2 , (y₂+y₁)/2)
       Mid point = (1,0)
As the point M lies on the same line of symmetry thus its x-coordinate is 1
by using the value of x(as 1) and the values of p, q and r given find y
y= -4

b)ii)The graph will be the same figurebut its base will not go below the origin(0,0)

c)ii)
put the values for each coordinate in the equation forming 2 equations nd then solve them simultaneously
for (3,0)
0=a(3)²+b(3) +0
=>9a+3b=0
for (4,8)
8=a(4)²+b(4)+o
=>16a+4b=8

solve them simultaneously to get a=2, and b=-6

for aiii

best wud be to draw the graph, and see where the minimum point lies. write its cordinates

for confirmation u can use differentiation

dy/dx = 2x - 2

2x - 2 =0

2x = 2

x = 1 substituting y = 4

dont bother if u dont understand this

for bii

u know then the value are applied in the equation

u r left with only y = x² which is a parabola and passes through the origin (0,0)

for cii

it says it passes through the origin
which means, c =0

u r left with

y= ax^2 + bx

substitute the cordinates (3, 0) and (4, .

to get

0 = 9a + 3b

and

8 = 16a + 4b

from the second we can get

a = 8-4b / 16
substitute this in the first to get
72 - 36b
--------  = -3b
     16

72 - 36b = -48b

solve to get

b = -6 and a = 2

@wassup - for aiii - it is not they-axis, its a line of symmetry

aadi won't it be tooo time consuming to draw the graph and do the differentiation(a part)....just see wat i did....i think dts the right method!!

yes. that would be better. i considered that and thus didnt comment. u wanted to hear this. lol

iii) On M x=0
so, y=r
     y=-3
M(0,-3)

This answer isn't like that in the mark scheme it should b (1, -4)
Thanks u all for ur help & I think that it is not that much difficult.

sorry i thot it was d y axis.
