21
(a) Complete the table for \(y = x^2 - 2x\).
| \(x\) | \(-1\) | \(0\) | \(1\) | \(2\) | \(3\) | \(4\) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| \(y\) | \(3\) | \(0\) | \(-1\) | \(0\) | \(3\) |
[1]
(b) Draw the graph of \(y = x^2 - 2x\) for \(-1 \leqslant x \leqslant 4\).

[2]
(c) Use your graph to solve \(x^2 - 2x = 2\). [2]
