[DSAT] Using Regression to Find Both Solutions to a Quadratic Equation
If you want to represent the decimal solution as a fraction to match the format of an answer choice, just enter the variable and use the convert-to-fraction button on the left; this is one of the advantages regression has over graphing:

Expression 4: "p"p
equals=
negative 0.6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 7−0.666666666667

Just to corroborate the results of the regression, you can also graph the equation and inspect the x-coordinates of the solution lines:

Expression 6: 3 "x" squared minus 4 "x" minus 4 equals 03x2−4x−4=0
