The question, in short

Using the given cubic graph, add a straight line to the grid and use it to find the x values where the cubic exceeds 7.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Solution · 4 marks

  1. 1Draw the horizontal line y = 7
  2. 2It meets the curve at x ≈ −1.3, x ≈ −0.2 and x ≈ 3.5
  3. 3The curve is above the line between the first two points and to the right of the third
  4. 4−1.3 < x < −0.2 or x > 3.5

Answer−1.3 < x < −0.2, x > 3.5
