Use the x-intercept method to find all real solutions of the equation. x^3-7x^2+4x+12=0
2 answers:
Answer:
a.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
To find all real solutions using the x-intercept method, we to graph the corresponding function using a graphing tool.
The corresponding function is;
The real solutions to , are the x-intercepts of the graph of the corresponding function.
From the graph the x-intercepts are
(-1,0),(2,0) and (6,0).
Therefore the real solutions are

We have been given that Grant spent $2.50, $4.00, $4.25, and $3.25 on breakfast in one week. The next week he spent $6 more in total for the 4 breakfasts than the week before. We are asked to find increase in the mean of second week.
Since Grant spent $6 more than last week, we will divide 6 by 4 to get how much mean of second week breakfast expenditures increased with respect to first week expenditures.
Therefore, mean of second week breakfast expenditure will be $1.5 more than first week.
