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.
When you have a point A and then transform it using a linear transformation (like rotation, reflections, etc.), we mark it as A' to say, "This is the point which corresponds to A after the transformations were applied". This establishes a link between the two, even though they may appear to be unrelated to someone looking at the graph.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the point, B(x,y) that divides the directed line segment from Messi, M(3,4) to S(6,10) in the ratio m:n=3:2
We use the section formula:

We substitute the coordinates and the ratio into the section formula to get:

We simplify to get:

This gives us:


-43x + 16 < 79
Subtract 16 from both sides,
-43x < 63
Divide -43 from both sides,
x < -63/43
Hope this helps!
