Let’s represent his sister’s sales as x
3/4ths of his sister’s sales would be:
3/4x
3 less than 3/4ths of his sister’s sales would be:
3/4x - 3
I’m not sure but good luck with your test
When x=0,
y=-(0-2)^3-5
y=3
When y=0,
(x-2)^3=5
x-2= +/- 5^1/3
x= +/- 5^1/3 +2
x= 3.70997 or x=0.29002
To find the turning point at y, substitute the information that you have found above.
y=-(3.70997-2)^3-5
y=-9.99994
Find the mid-point next as mid-point is also the turning point.
(3.70997+0.29002)÷2=1.999995
Hence, Turning point is (1.999995, 9.99994)
Plot a graph using turning point, y value and the 2-x values.
