Answer:
d. x ∈ {-3, -2, 1}
Step-by-step explanation:
The word "approximate" in the problem statement suggests that the roots may not be integers. Consequently, the solution method of choice is graphing.
A graph shows the solutions to f(x)=0 to be x=-3, x=-2, and x=1, matching selection D.

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>
Any value of x can be put into the formula and it will be a "solution." For example, f(0) = -6 is a "solution" to the polynomial function. The problem statement is not specific as to the solution(s) sought. We have had to guess that we want values of x such that f(x)=0.
Given:
Elise is making punch for the party that requires 2 parts of fruit juice for every 5 parts of ginger ale.
To make the punch, she uses 18 ounces of fruit juice and 3 containers of ginger ale.
To find:
The number of ounces in each container of ginger ale.
Solution:
Let n be the number of ounces in each container of ginger ale.
According to the question, the ratio of fruit juice and ginger ale is 2:5. it means,
Divide both sides by 2.
So, ginger required for punch is 45 ounces.
Number of containers = 3
Number of ounces in each container of ginger ale = n
Number of ounces in 3 containers of ginger ale = 3n
Now,
Divide both sides by 3.
Therefore, 15 ounces are in each container of ginger ale.
