Hold up.  Hee haw.  Whoa!
Your first instinct was to multiply it out and get rid of the parentheses. 
That's often a good instinct, but this time, it made things harder for you.

This is a good example of a rule you should consider: 

         Before you do anything to anything, sit back, relax,
         LOOK at
the problem, THINK about it, and plan your
         strategy.  Decide what the solution might
look like,
         and what you're going to do to the given information
         in order to move towards the solution.


You might look at this particular equation and ponder:

-- If I multiplied this thing out and got rid of the parentheses, it would
have x³ in it.  So there are going to be 3 solutions.

-- If either factor is zero, then the equation is true.

-- One of the factors is 6x.  Setting that to zero gives one solution: x=0.

-- The other two solutions come from setting   (4x² - 4) = 0 .

-- That's the difference of 2 squares, so it's    (2x + 2) (2x - 2) = 0

-- The other 2 solutions come from setting each of those factors to zero.

There you are.  You got this far just by thinking, without even picking up
your pencil yet.

6x( 4x^2 -4) = 0 
then 6x = 0  --- eqn.1
or (4x^2-4) = 0 --- eqn.2 
from eqn.1 we get that x=0 
from eqn.2 we get:
4x^2=4
x^2=1
x^2 - 1 =0 
(x-1) * (x+1) = 0 
so x = +1 and -1 
the final answer is x= 0, -1 , 1

The equation of the line in this graph is<br>y= ____ x+____ .<br>​
Alexxx [7]
The equation of the line in this graph is y = 3/2x + 3.

Explanation:

In slope intercept form equations, the initial value is where everything begins. In this equation, that would be at the point (0,3). From there, because it is going up toward the right side, there is a positive slope. The formula for slope is rise over run, so to get our slope, we have to go up 3 units and over 2 units.

Does the graph below represent a function? why or why not?
Degger [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinate plane is also called a Cartesian Plane. Function. A function is a relationship where there is only one output for every input. In other words, for every value of x, there is only one value for y.

Can I get help with this?
blagie [28]

Answer:

y-4=7(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the slope of the line (7) and the point (1,4) and we need to find the equation in point-slope form.

Point-slope form is given as y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}) where m is the slope and (x_{1},y_{1}) is a point

We have all of the needed information for the equation, but let's first label the values of everything in order to avoid confusion

m=7

x_{1}=1

y_{1}=4

now substitute into the formula:

<u>y-4=7(x-1)</u>

Hope this helps! :)
