Answer:
the correct answer is b :)))))!!!
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
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
10, 24 and 38 are composite numbers.
(10 can be divided by 5 and 2; 24 can be divided by 8, 3, 12 and 2; 38 can be divided by 19 and 2).
The others are prime numbers.
1= -6
2= -5
3= -4
4= -3
5= 0
6= 3
The bases were not the same when the exponents were set equal to each other.
16 should have been written as 4 squared.
The exponent on the right should be 4a instead of 8a.
The correct solution is a=-3/4.
