Plug x = 0 into the function

f(x) = x^3 + 2x - 1

f(0) = 0^3 + 2(0) - 1

f(0) = -1

Note how the result is negative. The actual number itself doesn't matter. All we care about is the sign of the result.

Repeat for x = 1

f(x) = x^3 + 2x - 1

f(1) = 1^3 + 2(1) - 1

f(1) = 2

This result is positive.

---------------------------

We found that f(0) = -1 and f(1) = 2. The first output -1 is negative while the second output 2 is positive. Going from negative to positive means that, at some point, we will hit y = 0. We might have multiple instances of this happening, or just one. We don't know for sure. The only thing we do know is that there is at least one root in this interval.

To actually find this root, you'll need to use a graphing calculator because the root is some complicated decimal value. Using a graphing calculator, you should find the root to be approximately 0.4533976515

Answer:

  104π in² ≈ 326.7 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the given numbers in the surface area formula for a cylinder.

  SA = 2πr(r +h)

  SA = 2π(4 in)(4 in +9 in) = 104π in² ≈ 326.7 in²

Suppose that the probability a seed will germinate is 85%. What is the probability that 7 of these seeds will germinate when 10
Viktor [21]
Total number of outcomes of 7 from 10 = 10*9*8 / 3*2*1  = 120
probability of each outcoe is 0.85^7* (0.15)^(3)  = 0.0010819

Required probability = 120 * 0.0010819 =  0.1298
