Solve x2 + 2 = 6 by graphing the related function.

Solve x2 + 2 = 6 by graphing the related function. x^2 + 2 is a parabola with a vertex at the point (0, 2). When x = -1 or x = 1, then x^2 + 2 = 3, so we should put the points (-1,3) and (1,3) on the graph. When x = -2 or x = 2, then x^2 + 2 = 6, so we should put the points (-2,6) and (2,6) on the graph. We could continue adding points to the graph if we want, but we already have our two solutions. x^2 + 2 = 6 when x = -2 or x = 2. Therefore, x = -2, and x = 2 are the two solutions to this equation.
