(a) Sketch the straight line \(2x + 3y + 4\) (b) Find the equation of the straight line which is perpendicular to the line in (a) and goes through the point (1,1) (c) Sketch the two lines on the \(xy\)-plane 3. As dry air moves upward, it cools at a rate of about 1°C for each 100 m rises, up to about 12 km. (a) If the ground temperature is 20°C find a formula for the temperature (T) at height \(h\) (in km. (b) What range of temperature can be expected if a plane takes off and reaches a maximum height of 5 km. 6. Sketch the graph of \(y = |2x^2 - 3x - 2|\). 7. Sketch the graph of \(y = x^2 - 10x + 28\) by completing the square and applying some translations to the graph of \(y = x^2 \) 9. Given the functions: \(f(x) = 2x^2 = 2\) \(g(x) = \sqrt{x^2 - 4}\) Find the
