How do I graph the equation y = x^2-x-6 ?
\n" ); document.write( "Thank you very much.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept:
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = 0, then y = 0-0-6 = -6
\n" ); document.write( "gives you the point (0,-6)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "x-intercepts:
\n" ); document.write( "Solve x^2-x-6 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Factor:
\n" ); document.write( "(x-3)(x+2) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3 or x = -2
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Gives you points: (3,0) and (-2,0)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Plot those three points and sketch a parabola opening up through them.
