Sketching curves — practice question

(a)[1]

Fill in the table for $y = 3 + 2x - \frac{x^3}{5}$.

(b)[3]

Draw the curve for $y = 3 + 2x - \frac{x^3}{5}$ over $-4 \le x \le 4$.

(c)[2]

By drawing a tangent, estimate the gradient of the graph of $y = 3 + 2x - \frac{x^3}{5}$ at $(1, 4.8)$.

(d(i))[2]

On the grid, plot the line $2y + x = 8$.

(d(ii))[2]

Write down the $x$-coordinates of the points at which the line intersects the graph of $y = 3 + 2x - \frac{x^3}{5}$.

(d(iii))[3]

These $x$-coordinates solve the equation $2x^3 + Ax + B = 0$. Find the value of $A$ and the value of $B$.
