3.(a)On separate diagrams sketch the curves with the following equations.On each sketch you should mark the coordinates of the points where the curve crosses the coordinate axes.
(i)\(y = x ^ { 2 } - 2 x - 3\)
(ii)\(y = x ^ { 2 } - 2 | x | - 3\)
(iii)\(y = x ^ { 2 } - x - | x | - 3\)
(b)Solve the equation
$$x ^ { 2 } - x - | x | - 3 = x + | x |$$
