To get the graph to have one x-intercept, we must find the m value where the discriminant of the equation will equal 0.
The discriminant for a graph with one x-intercept is found with the following formula:
Plug in the values of the equation into this formula:
Add 144 to both sides:
Square root both sides to get m by itself:
In order for the graph to have one x-intercept, m must equal -12 or 12.
