Starting with <span>3x^2-7x+12=0, we divide all four terms by 3, resulting in the following factored form:
</span><span>
3(</span><span>x^2-[7/3]x+4)=0.
</span><span>
Since 3 cannot equal 0, we can focus on the following:
x^2 - 7/4 x =-4
This completes the assignment (describe Joe's steps up to this point).
If you wish to go further:
Next, take HALF of the coefficient of x and square your result:
(-7/[4][2])^2 = 49/64
Add this to both sides of </span>x^2 - 7/4 x =-4: <span>x^2 - 7/4x + 49/64 =-4+49/64
Rewrite the left side as (x-7/8)^2 and the right side as 49/64 - 256/64
Simplify the right side by combining these terms: -207/64
Then x-7/8 = plus or minus (1/8)sqrt(-207)
Next, x = 7/8 plus or minus (1/8)*i*</span>√207, or
7 plus or minus i*√207
x = ----------------------------------
8
The correct answer is A.
For y=x, the slope is 1, meaning that as x increments by 1, y also increments by 1.
Using this logic, we know that the graph goes up looking from left to right.
If both ends were to point up or down it would resemble more of a quadratic (parabola).
