To solve the problem shown above you must apply the following proccedure:
1. You have the following function given in the problem:
<span> f(x)=x3–3x–2
2. When you give values to the x and plot each point obtained, you obtain the graph shown in the figure attached.
3. Based on the graph and analizing the alternate form:
f(x)=(x-2)(x+1)</span>²
As you can see, there is two roots x=-1, then, you can conclude that the correct answer is the option b, which is:
b) -1<span>
</span>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given that x and y are proportional and the equation relating them is
y = rx ← r is the constant of proportionality
To find r use any ordered pair from the table
Using x = 9, y = 4.5 , then
4.5 = 9r ( divide both sides by 9 )
= r , that is
r = 
Part A: Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of
the equations y = 4-x and y = 2x + 3 intersect are the solutions of the
equation
4-x = 2x + 3.
Because the point where the graphs intersect is a point that meets both rules (functions) y = 4 - x and y = 2x + 3 meaning that y from y = 4 - x equals y from 2x + 3 and also both x have the same value.
Part B: Make tables to find the solution to 4-x = 2x + 3. Take the integer values of x between -3 and 3.
x values 4 -x 2x + 3
-3 4-(-3)=7 2(-3)+3 =-3
-2 4-(-2)=6 2(-2)+3 =-1
-1 4-(-1)=5 2(-1)+3 = 1
0 4-0=4 2(0)+3 = 3
1 4-1=3 2(1)+3=5
2 4-2=2 2(2)+3 = 7
3 4-3=1 2(3)+3 = 9
The the solution is between x = 0 and x =1
Part C: How can you solve the equation 4-x = 2x + 3 graphically?
Draw in a same graph both functions y= 4 - x and y = 2x +3.
Then read the x-coordinates of the intersection point. That is the solution.
The slope-intercept is the first option, y=-3x-6
0789 is the smallest
9870 is the largest
