Answer:

x = 1, √5, -√5

Step-by-step explanation:

Graphing of Function:

The given function will cut the y-axis at (0,-1) and it will cut the x-axis at (0,1),(0,√5), (0.-√5).

We are given the function f(x) = x^3 - 4x - 1 = 0

We have to  approximate the solutions when f(x) = 0, that is,

f(x) = x^3 - 4x - 1 = 0 = 0

⇒ x^3 - 4x = 1

⇒ x(x^2 - 4) = 1

⇒ x = 1, x^2 - 4 = 1

Now, x^2 - 4 = 1

⇒ x^2 = 5

⇒ x = ±√5

Thus, x = 1, √5, -√5

If f(x) is = to 0 then that means that you would have to plug the 0 in for all of the x that are in the function and the solve it.
f(x)= x3-4x-1
f(0)= (0)3-4(0)-1
0        0        0 -1
-1 
so that means that -1 would be the answer for the function

Four people can mow a lawn in 6 hours. How many more people will be needed to mow the lawn in 4 hours, assuming each person mows
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Two more people.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4 people can mow a lawn in 6 hours, then 4 people can mow 1/6 of a lawn in 1 hour.

If 4 people can mow 1/6 of a lawn in 1 hour, then 1 person can mow 1/24 of a lawn in 1 hour.

If 1 person can mow 1/24 of a lawn in 1 hour, then 6 people can mow 1/4 of a lawn in 1 hour.

If 6 people can mow 1/4 of a lawn in 1 hour, then 6 people can mow a lawn in 4 hours.

6 people minus 4 people is 2 people.
