08d - Using Graphs To Solve Quadratic Equations (Worksheet)

The document describes how to use graphs to solve various quadratic equations by: 1) Plotting points for the quadratic equation on a graph and finding where the graph intersects the x-axis 2) Drawing a suitable straight line on the graph to represent setting the quadratic equation equal to a linear equation and finding the x-intercepts 3) Rewriting a quadratic equation set equal to a linear equation to set it equal to a factored form and solving for the roots.
