Question: Solve by graphing the related function of the equation - 3x2 = - 27.


A ) - 3 and 6
B ) - 3 and 3
C ) - 3 and 7
D ) - 4 and 4

Steps to derive

 [Original equation.]
1 - 3x2 = - 27

 [Divide - 3 on each side]
2 x2 = 9

 [Subtract 9 from each side]
3 x2 - 9 = 9 - 9

 [Simplify.]
4 x2 - 9 = 0

5 Sketch the graph of the related quadratic function y = x2 - 9 as shown below.

6 From the graph, the x-intercepts appear to be - 3 and 3.
 [Estimate the values of the x-intercepts.]

8 So, - 3 and 3 are the solutions of the equation.



Hence the right answer is Option B
