Find a rational range and solve by adding a cosine sketch

C:y=(x2+2x+3)/(x+1)C:y=(x^2+2x+3)/(x+1).

(i) Find exactly the values of y for which C does not lie. marks

(ii) Sketch C with axial intercept, asymptotes and stationary points. marks

(iii) Add a sketch on−π≤x≤πto solve 3(x+1)cos⁡x−1=x2+2x+23(x+1)\cos x-1=x^2+2x+2. marks
