CSEC Mathematics · May/June 2016 · Paper 2 · Question 6(b)(ii)

The function y = x^2 – 2x – 3 is defined in the domain –2 ≤ x ≤ 4. A table shows corresponding values of y for five selected values of x. The table has x values -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and y values 5, 0, -3, (missing), -3, (missing), 5.

On the same axes used in Part (a) on page 16, draw the graph of y = x^2 - 2x – 3.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
