Alternative method:<br />

Equation of graph: y = x 2 – 3x + 2<br />

Equation to be solved: 0 = x 2 – 3x + 1<br />

Subtracting: y = 1 is the equation of the line to be drawn.<br />

(c) Use the above graph to solve x 2 – 4x = 0<br />

y = x 2 – 3x + 2<br />

0 = x 2 – 4x (subtracting)<br />

y = x + 2<br />

Draw a straight line graph of the function y = x + 2 on the same axes as shown<br />

below:<br />

The line crosses the curve at the points where x = 0 and x = 4.<br />

Hence the solutions of x 2 – 4x = 0 are x = 0 and x = 4.
