P1.1.7 - Interpreting linear and quadratic inequalities question 1

[Maximum number: 2]
Figure 2

Figure 2

Figure 2 shows a sketch of the straight line l and the curve C.
Given that l cuts the y-axis at -12 and cuts the x-axis at 4, as shown in Figure 2,

Given that C
- has equation y=f(x) where f(x) is a quadratic expression
- has a minimum point at (7,-18)
- cuts the x-axis at 4 and at k, where k is a constant

The region R is shown shaded in Figure 2.
Use inequalities to define R.
