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
Y=x-8
the slope is 1 and the y intercept is -8
Your answer will be B) x=12
1)5x-3x
2) move 9 to the other side (change signs)
3)18+15-9
4) 2x= 24 (divide 2 from both sides
5)x=12
hope this helps
"The lines of reflection are parallel to the sides of the polygon" is the statement that is true about the lines of reflection for the polygon that will map the shape onto itself. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". I hope that the answer has helped you.
