Algebra.Com's Answer #31110 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=.1x^3+2x^2-x-3 \"\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Enter the equation after selecting \"y=\". \n" ); document.write( "Select \"ZOOM\" \n" ); document.write( "Select \"Standard\" to see the graph \n" ); document.write( "Adjust the WINDOW by changing xmin to -25 \n" ); document.write( "so you can see all the graph. \n" ); document.write( "Select \"CALC\" \n" ); document.write( "Select \"Zero\" \n" ); document.write( "Make the \"Left Bound\" x=-20.53 \n" ); document.write( "Select \"Enter\" \n" ); document.write( "Make the \"Right Bound\" x=-20.15 \n" ); document.write( "Select \"Enter\" \n" ); document.write( "Select \"Enter\" again \n" ); document.write( "You should have a display that says x=-20.4178 and y=0 \n" ); document.write( "This is your 1st \"ZERO\". \n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Select \"CALC\" again. \n" ); document.write( "Move the cursor to x=-1.170213 \n" ); document.write( "Make this the \"Left Bound\". \n" ); document.write( "Move the cursor to -.7978723 and make it the \"Right Bound\". \n" ); document.write( "Select \"Enter\" twice to see the 2nd ZERO. \n" ); document.write( "---------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Repeat the same process to find the 3rd ZERO. \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
