    d. i. 2x 2 − 3 x − 2 = 0
    2x 2 − 3 x − 2 = y
    This implies we need to find where the curve is equal to 0. We look
    to at where y = 0 . This is where the curve cuts the x-axis, which
    gives the solutions x = −0.5 or x = 2 .

    ii. 2x 2 − 3 x − 2 = 9
    2x 2 − 3 x − 2 = y
    We draw on a dashed line at y = 9 (see blue line on curve) and
    read off the solutions x = −1.7 or x = 3.2

    iii. 2 x 2 − 3 x − 2 = −2
    2x 2 − 3 x − 2 = y
    We draw on a dashed line at y = −2 (see blue line on curve) and
    read off the solutions x = 0 or x = 1.5 .

    e. 2 x 2 − 3 x − 2 = −5
    2x 2 − 3 x − 2 = y
    If we were to draw on the line y = −5 , we would notice that it would not
    intercept the curve, therefore there are no solutions to the equation
    2 x 2 − 3 x − 2 = −5 .
