Curved graphs can be used to solve equations. The points at which the curve crosses a particular line on the graph are the solutions to the equation. If we want to solve the equation ...
This jingle has helped generations of algebra students recall the quadratic formula that solves every equation of the form $latex ax^2+bx+c=0$. The formula is as ...
Be careful to note what a GCSE question is asking. If it states ‘solve algebraically’ then you must do so. To find solutions from graphs, look for the point where the two graphs cross one another.
