Pls help

[jaunty gyro]

I don't know how to start solving 3y^2 = 4x - 8

[jaunty gyro]

Topic is quadratic equations btw

@placid harness

[placid harness]

hello

so

this equation can't be solved

what you will get is

3y^2 = 4x - 8

[jaunty gyro]

Is?

[placid harness]

y^2 = (4x - 8)/3

[jaunty gyro]

Can it be factored?

[placid harness]

$y = \sqrt{(4x - 8)/3}$

Abstract Algebra Simp

[placid harness]

the value of y depends on x

it is like a whole function

[jaunty gyro]

I don't quite understand

Since I'm not there yet

Not at functions yet

[wanton hound]

for each value of x (greater or equal than 2), you will get a value of y corresponding to that value of x

[placid harness]

@jaunty gyro meaning that there is infinite values of y

[jaunty gyro]

So it must have a certain value for it to be solved?

[placid harness]

you need at least another equation to know the actual value of y

or you must know the value of x

[wanton hound]

there are infinite solutions

Ohhhh ok

Alr ty
