Question 100707: I would love some help on this one. Particularly the graphing.
Solve the following quadratic equations. Make sure to show all your work. Do not use any method (e.g., factoring, completing the square, quadratic formula, graphing) more than twice. Use the graphing method at least once.
1. 3x2 + 11x � 20 = 0
2. x2 + 3x � 4 = 0
3. 3x2 � x � 1 = 0

Do not use any method (e.g., factoring, completing the square, quadratic formula, graphing) more than twice. Use the graphing method at least once.
1. 3x^2 + 11x � 20 = 0
Factor:
= 3x^2+15x-4x-20
= 3x(x+5)-4(x+5)
= (x+5)(3x-4)
=============================
2. x^2 + 3x � 4 = 0
Complete the square:
x^2+3x+(3/2)^2 = 4 + (3/2)^2
(x+(3/2))^2 = 25/4
x+(3/2) = 5/2 or x+(3/2)=-5/2
x=1 or x = 4
=====================================
3. 3x^2 � x � 1 = 0
Graphing:

====================================
