$\"2x%5E2+=+3x+%2B+2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"f%28x%29=2x%5E2+-3x+-+2=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Graph the function the find the x values when it equals zero.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+300%2C+300%2C+-3%2C+3%2C+-3%2C+3%2C++2x%5E2-3x-2%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now looking at the graph, you can guess the x values where f(x)=0.
\n" ); document.write( "Looks like x=2 is one of those points.
\n" ); document.write( "Plug it into the function and check.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"f%282%29=2%282%29%5E2-3%282%29-2=2%284%29-6-2=8-6-2=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x=2 is a root.
\n" ); document.write( "I leave it to you to find the other.
\n" ); document.write( "Guess and check.
