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
For the triangle, x is 12 units long.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
The hypotenuse is the side which is the longest in the triangle and is always opposite the right angle.
In the given triangle, the hypotenuse is 13 units long. The other two sides measure 5 units and x units.
Step 2:
By substituting the known values, we get
Rounding this off to the nearest hundred, we get that x is 12 units long.
Answer:
Choice C: 6.23
Step-by-step explanation:
= 
-----> cross multiply
5(124.50) = 100x
622.5 = 100x
6.225 = x
6.225 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 6.23
She earned 6.23 commission.
The answer is 175 square inches because you have to multiply 5in•7in to get 35inches per picture and since there are five you have to multiply by 35•5=175
