(a) Complete the table above. [1]
(b) On the graph paper below, draw the graph of \(y = x^2 - 5x + 2\) for values of \(x\) from \(-1\) to 5. [2]
(c) Draw the line \(y = -3\) on the graph paper. Write down the values of \(x\) where the line \(y = -3\) cuts the curve \(y = x^2 - 5x + 2\). Give your answers correct to 1 decimal place. [2]
Values of \(x\) are ……………… and ………………
