Solve x^2+2=6 by graphing the related function.

1 answer

To solve x^2 + 2 = 6 by graphing the related function, we need to convert the equation into a function and plot the graph to find the intersection points.

Let's rewrite the equation as a function:

f(x) = x^2 + 2 - 6

Now, let's plot the graph of this function:

- Start by creating a coordinate system with the x-axis and y-axis.
- Choose some x-values and substitute them into the function to find their corresponding y-values.
- Plot the points obtained from the function evaluation on the coordinate system.
- Connect the points to form a curve.

The graph of the function is as follows:
