Graphs of functions — practice question

(a)[2]

Fill in the table.

(b)[5]

On the grid, sketch the graph of $y = 3x + \frac{2}{x^2} + 1$ for $-3 \leq x \leq -0.3$ and $0.3 \leq x \leq 3$.

(c)[1]

State the value of the greatest integer, $k$, such that the equation $3x + \frac{2}{x^2} + 1 = k$ has exactly one solution.

(d(i))[4]

By drawing an appropriate straight line on the grid, solve $3x + \frac{2}{x^2} + 1 = 15 - 3x$.

(d(ii))[3]

Determine $a$, $b$ and $c$.
