12. y = (x +2)(x – 3) = x2 – x – 6
Therefore, p = –1, q = –6
OR
0 = 4 – 2p + q
0 = 9 + 3p + q
p = –1, q = –6

13. (a) f(x) = 0 2x(4 – x) = 0 x = 4, x = 0
x-intercepts are at 4 and 0 (accept (4, 0) and (0, 0))
(b) (i) x = 2 (must be equation)
(ii) substituting x = 2 into f(x) y = 8

28. (a) f (x) = –10(x + 4)(x – 6)
(b) METHOD 1
Vertex: x = 1, y = –10(1+ 4)(1– 6), Hence f (x) = –10(x –1)2 + 250
METHOD 2
complete the square f (x) = –10(x2 – 2x – 24)= –10((x –1)2 –1– 24) = –10(x –1)2 + 250
(c) f (x) = –10(x + 4)(x – 6) = –10(x2 – 6x + 4x – 24) = 240 + 20x –10x2
OR
f (x) = –10(x –1)2 + 250 =–10(x2 – 2x +1) + 250 = 240 + 20x –10x2

33. 4x2 + 4kx + 9 = 0
Only one solution b2 – 4ac = 0 16k2 – 4(4)(9) = 0
k2 = 9 k = 3
But given k > 0, k = 3
39. For kx2 – 3x + (k + 2) = 0 to have two distinct real roots then k 0 and 9 – 4k(k + 2) > 0
4k2 + 8k – 9 < 0 , hence –2.803 < k <0.803
Set of values of k is –2.80 < k < 0.803, k 0
