Answer:
and
.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have to different functions like the ones attached, one is a parabolic function and the other is a radical function. To know where
, we just have to equalize them and find the solution for that equation:

So, applying the zero product property, we have:
![x=0\\x^{3}-1=0\\x^{3}=1\\x=\sqrt[3]{1}=1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D0%5C%5Cx%5E%7B3%7D-1%3D0%5C%5Cx%5E%7B3%7D%3D1%5C%5Cx%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B1%7D%3D1)
Therefore, these two solutions mean that there are two points where both functions are equal, that is, when
and
.
So, the input values are
and
.
If Heather puts in 1.36% of her salary into a retirement account and she makes $63,000 in a year, this can be solved by 1.36% x 63000. First convert 1.36% into a decimal. To do this, divide by 100.
1.36/100=0.0136
1.36% x 63000
=0.0136 x 63000
=856.8
Heather would put $856.8 in for the whole year. To find how much per month, divide by 12.
856.8/12=71.<span>4
</span>Rounded to the nearest dollar is $71.
Heather would put $71 into a retirement account each month.
<em>
</em><em>Note: This was solved by multiply the percent and then dividing by 12 months. You could also do this by dividing by 12 months first and then multiplying the percent.</em>
