Question 390548
I dont get how to solve equations by graphing.
Could you please show step by step how to do this?

You would have to plot enough points to see where 
the curve crosses the x-axis.
---- 
-x^3 -3x-2=0
If x = 0, y = -2 giving (0,-2)
If x = -1, y = 1+3-2 = 2 giving (-1,2)
Note: Since the y-value changed from negative
to positive, there must be a root between
x = -1 and x = 0
Try x = -1/2:
If x = -1/2, y = -(-1/8)-(-1/2)-2 = (1/8)+(4/8)-2 = -1 3/8
giving you (-1/2,-11/8)
Keeping up this process you can get closer and closer to the solution
which is -0.596072...
