b. 𝑥(𝑥 − 4) = 2(𝑥 + 7)
5
c. 𝑥 − 1 =
𝑥+7
3.
(i) Express 𝑥 2 − 8𝑥 + 5 in the form (𝑥 − 𝑝)2 + 𝑞
(ii) Hence, sketch the graph.
(iii) Write down the coordinates of the minimum point of the graph.
(iv) State the equation of the line of symmetry of the graph.
4. The difference between the reciprocals of two consecutive
positive integers is 1/12 . Find the two numbers.
