\(y = x + 3\) is a linear equation and \(y = x^2 + 3x\) is a quadratic equation. If the product of two numbers is zero, then one or both numbers must also be equal to zero. To solve, put each bracket ...
To find solutions from graphs, look for the point where the two graphs cross one another. This is the solution point. For example, the solution for the graphs \(y = x + 1\) and \(x + y = 3\) is the ...
Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...
