This is a division problem. You can use the standard algorithm of 128/ 5. Or you can create equal groups (draw five circles) and count out eggs until you distribute them all. I would start with 20 in each circle. That would be 20+ 20+ 20+ 20+ 20= 100 Then think 128-100= 28 Next count by 5's. 5+ 5+ 5+ 5+ 5= 25 Then think what is 28-25= 3 so 128/ 5= 25 with a reminder of 3 eggs left over.
Think of PEMDAS, or Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally. Which is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction in that order.
When x=0,
y=-(0-2)^3-5
y=3
When y=0,
(x-2)^3=5
x-2= +/- 5^1/3
x= +/- 5^1/3 +2
x= 3.70997 or x=0.29002
To find the turning point at y, substitute the information that you have found above.
y=-(3.70997-2)^3-5
y=-9.99994
Find the mid-point next as mid-point is also the turning point.
(3.70997+0.29002)÷2=1.999995
Hence, Turning point is (1.999995, 9.99994)
Plot a graph using turning point, y value and the 2-x values.
