Y int.: (0,-1.2)
X int.: (-0.7,0)
Answer:
• x = -4, x = 0, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
x is a factor of all terms, so x=0 is a zero. (Eliminates choices 1 and 5.)
The sum of coefficients is 0, so x=1 is a zero. (Eliminates choices 3 and 4.)
Reversing the sign of the odd-degree terms gives signs of -++, so there is one sign change, hence one negative real root (by Descartes' rule of signs). This confirms choice 2 as the answer.
___
Of course, your graphing calculator can answer this almost as quickly.
Answer:
Here's a way this can help! If the graph it by two then any odd number will by by the middle, start by the origin and you'll be able to see it clearly.
