4. The function 𝑓 is defined as 𝑓(𝑥) = 2 − 20(2 + 64, 𝑥 ∈ ℝ.
a. Write 𝑓(𝑥) in the form (2𝑥 − 𝑎)(2𝑥 − 𝑏), where 𝑎 and 𝑏 are real constants.

b) Write down the number of real solutions to the equation 𝑥2 = 3𝑥 + 7.
c) Show that you can rearrange the equation to give (𝑥 + 1)(𝑥 + 2)(3𝑥 − 2) = 0.
d) Hence determine the exact coordinates of the points of intersection.
