If you're looking to factor it, you can do it like so:
d2ydx2 - yx2
= d3yx2 - yx2
= yx2(d3 - 1)

If you mean y = x2, then yes, it is nonlinear.
(x+1)(x-1) ;)
There are several ways to solve x2-x-12. The easiest way, if you have a graphing calculator, is to put y = x2-x-12 and y = 0 into the graph and then solve for the intercepts. A way to do it without a graphing calculator is by factoring. x2-x-12 factors into (x-4) and (x+3). Then set (x-4) and (x+3) each equal to zero and solve. (x-4)=0 becomes x=4. (x+3)=0 becomes -3. Therefore, the answers are -3 and 4.
