If <em>x</em> = -1, you have
2(-1) + 3 cos(-1) + <em>e</em> ⁻¹ ≈ -0.0112136 < 0
and if <em>x</em> = 0, you have
2(0) + 3 cos(0) + <em>e</em> ⁰ = 4 > 0
The function <em>f(x)</em> = 2<em>x</em> + 3 cos(<em>x</em>) + <em>eˣ</em> is continuous over the real numbers, so the intermediate value theorem applies, and it says that there is some -1 < <em>c</em> < 0 such that <em>f(c)</em> = 0.
<span>The volume of each celluloid die is (.25 x .25 x .25) = 0.015625 cubic inch.
To manufacture 24,000 of them, you need to start with <u>at least</u>
(24,000) x (0.015625) = <u>375 cubic inches</u>.
I don't know how celluloid is sold, so you should also keep in mind that
375 cubic inches = about 207.8 fluid ounces, or about 6.5 quarts.
I'm sure a bit more than that was used in the manufacture, since
there's always some wasted, spilled, or trimmed off of the edges. </span>
