27. A sketch of a graph representing the equation \(y = 3 + 2x - x^2\) is shown below.

(a) Find the \(y\)-coordinate when \(x = 0\). [1]
(b) Find the \(y\)-coordinate when \(x = -3\). [1]
(c)
Give the coordinates of the point where the sketch shows a gradient of zero. [1]
( ……… , ……… )
(d) Find the coordinates of all points for which \(3 + 2x - x^2 = 0\). [2]
