Math Problem Statement
Solution
Based on the graph of shown, we are asked to find all values of where .
From the graph, when the curve intersects the x-axis. Let's observe the points where the curve crosses the x-axis.
The graph crosses the x-axis at three points:
Therefore, the solutions to are:
Would you like a more detailed explanation or clarification on any of these steps? Here are a few related questions you might find interesting:
- How can we determine the number of real roots of a function from its graph?
- What is the significance of the x-axis intercepts of a function in relation to its zeros?
- How can we find the exact x-values where a polynomial intersects the x-axis using algebra?
- How would the graph of a function change if one of the roots was a double root?
- How can the behavior of a function near its intercepts help determine the nature of its roots?
Tip: When solving for the roots or zeros of a function, it’s helpful to first identify where the graph crosses the x-axis. Each crossing point represents a root of the function.
