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

PLEASE HELP WITH FINDING AREA
AnnyKZ [126]

When you have an irregular figure, you can divide it so that it becomes multiple normal figures. You already did this in the picture, now you just have to find the area of each shape and then add them all together.

From bottom to top:

A=1/2 (b1+b2)h

A= 1/2 (4+2.24)(2)

A= 6.24

(you have two of these on either side)

A=bh

A=6(4)

A=24

A=1/2 bh

A= 1/2 (4)(4)

A=8

(NOTE: there is an error in your drawing. The height of the triangle cant be determined because the 10 value spans over the entire figure when the wings of the rocket are 4 units long and then the body is 6 units long, making it equal 10 already. I'm assuming that the 10 is supposed to go from the bottom of the rectangle to the top of the triangle)

Total figure= 6.24 + 6.24 + 24 + 8

total figure = 44.48
