For \(y=2x^2-8x-3\):

  1. find the missing table entry \(p\)[2]
  2. draw the graph for \(-1\le x\le5\)[2]
  3. find the minimum point[2]
  4. estimate
    1. the roots, and[2]
    2. solutions of \(2x^2-8x=5\).[2]
\(x\)-\(1\)\(0\)\(1\)\(2\)\(3\)\(4\)\(5\)
\(y\)\(7\)-\(3\)-\(9\)-\(11\)\(p\)-\(3\)\(7\)

For graph readings, give values to the nearest 0.1 unit where an exact value cannot be read from the grid. Use the labelled axes and grid provided.
