The intercepts of the third degree polynomial corresponds to the zeros of the equation
y = d*(x-a)*(x-b)(x-c)
Where a, b and c are the roots of the polynomial and d an adjustment coefficient.
y = d*(x+2)*(x)*(x-3)
Lets assume d = 1, and we get
y = (x+2)*(x)*(x-3) = x^3 - x^2 - 6x
We graph the equation in the attached file.
well what i got was:
the exact form: 233/28
decimal form: 7.96428571...
mixed number form: 7 27/28
not sure if this is right at all but i hope it helps at least a little
How you find the area of a square rectangle or parallelogram is you multiply length times width, 8*1/2=4
