Use factoring to solve quadratic equation. Check by substitution or by using a graphing utility and identifying \(x\)-intercepts. \((x+3)(3 x+5)=7\)
Use the \(x\)-intercepts for the graph in \(a[-10,10,1]\) by \([-13,10,1]\) viewing rectangle to solve the quadratic equation. Check by substitution. Use the graph of \(y=x^{2}+x-6\) to solve \(x^{2}+x-6=0\).
In Exercises \(142-146,\) use the \([\mathrm{GRAPH}]\) or \([\text { TABLE }]\) feature of a graphing utility to determine if the polynomial on the left side of each equation has been correctly factored. If not, factor the polynomial correctly and then use your graphing utility to verify the factorization. $$\begin{aligned} &3 x^{3}-12 x^{2}-15 x=3 x(x+5)(x-1) ;[-5,7,1] \text { by }\\\ &[-80,80,10] \end{aligned}$$
Exercises \(150-152\) will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. Factor: \((x-2)(x+3)-6\)
In Exercises \(130-133,\) use the \([\mathrm{GRAPH}]\) or \([\mathrm{TABLE}]\) feature of a graphing utility to determine if the polynomial on the left side of each equation has been correctly factored. If the graphs of \(y_{1}\) and \(y_{2}\) coincide, or if their corresponding table values are equal, this means that the polynomial on the left side has been correctly factored. If not, factor the polynomial correctly and then use your graphing utility to verify the factorization. $$x^{3}-1=(x-1)\left(x^{2}-x+1\right)$$
