2.
(a)
Show that eliminating y from the equations 2x + y = 8, 3x2 + xy = 1 produces the equation x2 + 8x 1 = 0.
(2)
(b)
Hence solve the simultaneous equations 2x + y = 8, 3x2 + xy = 1 giving your answers in the form a + b17, where a and b are integers.

4 P (3 , 2 )
This diagram shows a sketch of the curve with equation y = f(x). The curve crosses the x-axis at the points (2, 0) and (4, 0). The minimum point on the curve is P(3, 2). In separate diagrams sketch the curve with equation (a) (b) y = f(x),
(3)
y = f(2x).
(3)
On each diagram, give the coordinates of the points at which the curve crosses the x-axis, and the coordinates of the image of P under the given transformation.
