  1. Find, using an algebraic method, the exact roots of the equation \({\left| 3x^2 + 5x - 8 \right| = 4 - x}\).[4]
  2. On the same axes, sketch the curves with equations \({y = \left| 3x^2 + 5x - 8 \right|}\) and \({y = 4 - x}\).
    Hence solve exactly the inequality \({\left| 3x^2 + 5x - 8 \right| < 4 - x}\).[4]
