Answer:
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
+ 4 = 6 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
= 2 ( cube both sides )
3y + 2 = 2³ = 8 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
3y = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = 2
I'm assuming you're referring to problem 6. You are asked to find the number of x intercepts or roots, which is another term for "zero". I prefer the term root or x intercept as "zero" seems misleading. Anyways, all we do is count the number of times the graph crosses the x axis. This happens 4 times as shown in the attached image below. I have marked these points in red. The graph can directly cross over the x axis, or it can touch the x axis and then bounce back. Either way, it is considered an x intercept.
<h3>Answer: there are 4 x intercepts (or 4 roots)</h3>
