x^2+2x-8=0
Factors into (x+4)(x-2)=0; x=-4, 2
=========
quadratic
x=(1/2)(-2 +/- sqrt (4+32)=
(1/2) (-2+/-6)=(1/2)(-8) and (1/2)(4)=-4,2

Given F(x)=x^2+2x-8 , Solve F(x) Using each method below: Show work please.
1). Solve by graphing.

--------------------------------------------
2). Solve by factoring.
(x+4)(x-2) = 0
x = -4 or x = 2
-----------------------------------------------
3). Solve by the quadratic formula
x = [-2 +- sqrt(2^2-4*1*-8)]/2
x = [-2 +- sqrt(36)]/2
x = [-2+-6]/2
x = -4 or x = 2
--------------------------------
