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
Hi! Could you type the question out.
It is a percent decrease because the original is less than the final value and the answer is -24% decrease. Please give me brainless if right.
I agree. There can't ever be 2 equal signs in A math problem
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Renee has 1/4 yard of floral fabric.
She cuts it into 5 equal pieces.
We need to find the length of each new piece of fabric. It is equal to the total length divided by the total number of pieces. So,
So, each new piece pf fabric is .
