Answer:

a. $x=-1,3,\:or\:6$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is;

$x^3-8x^2+9x+18=0$

To solve by the x-intercept method we need to graph the corresponding function using a graphing calculator or software.

The corresponding function is

$f(x)=x^3-8x^2+9x+18$

The solution to $x^3-8x^2+9x+18=0$ is where the graph touches the x-axis.

We can see from the graph that; the x-intercepts are;

(-1,0),(3,0) and (6,0).

Therefore the real solutions are:

$x=-1,3,\:or\:6$

A cube has a volume of 800 cubic units. the length of the edge of this cube is between which two numbers?

8090 [49]

I set this up as an inequality, $800 \leq s^{3}$ . If you take the cubed root of 800, you get the lower bound of the side length, which is 9.2. Then I just worked my way up until I hit the first number that put me over a volume of 800. That number is 9.29, because 9.28 cubed is 799.1 (not high enough) and 9.29 cubed is 801.8. Therefore, the bounds of the sides exist within a conjunction: $9.2\ \textless \ s\ \textless \ 9.29$ . That's the best I could come up with to help on that one. Wasn't sure if there was another method you were taught at school. I just used common sense more than any rule.
