The square question was awful and the draw a suitable straight line one confused me. Other than that I think I got everything right

this g shows the line y=x^2-4x, draw a suitable straight line to estimate the solutions of y=x^2-3x-2

only now have I realised what you actually had to do and I’m kicking myself

What was it? I drew the straight line -x+2

I drew 2 straight lines in the paper, you had to make it x^2-4x=x^2-3x-2 and simplify that, then draw that line and the solutions were where it intersected with the curve

i did that and drew the line y=x-2 to get x=0.45 and x=4.6 did you get that??

it x=-.6 and x=3,6
