To find the equation of the curve \( y = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + 5 \) that touches the x-axis at \( P(-2, 0) \) and cuts the y-axis at point \( Q \) where its gradient is 3, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Use the point where the curve touches the x-axis Since the curve touches the x-axis at \( P(-2, 0) \), we know that this point must satisfy the equation of the curve. Thus, we substitute \( x = -2 \) and \( y = 0 \): \[ 0 = a(-2)^3 + b(-2)^2 + c(-2) + 5 \] ...
