OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you still need help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, there is only one zero here which is x=-1.3553

You can get this if you take the derivative of the equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*one real zero.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you draw or show how you solved it please I'm not sure as to how you take the derivative of the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't want to write out all the steps.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But, I can paste an image of a computer solution. If you want.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok that'll be good thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It will show all the steps.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That should help!

BTW, if you want to solve something like this in the future, you may want to look into the Durand-Kerner Method. Very few students know about this.
