6 Answer the whole of this question on the insert provided. The insert shows the graph of \(y = \frac { 1 } { x } , x \neq 0\).
  1. Use the graph to find approximate roots of the equation \(\frac { 1 } { x } = 2 x + 3\), showing your method clearly.
  2. Rearrange the equation \(\frac { 1 } { x } = 2 x + 3\) to form a quadratic equation. Solve the resulting equation, leaving your answers in the form \(\frac { p \pm \sqrt { q } } { r }\).
  3. Draw the graph of \(y = \frac { 1 } { x } + 2 , x \neq 0\), on the grid used for part (i).
  4. Write down the values of \(x\) which satisfy the equation \(\frac { 1 } { x } + 2 = 2 x + 3\).
