OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

What did you pick as an answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@e.mccormick B

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Yes. 3td power is highest, and 3 terms.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

No need to @ name people all the time. It notifies me of replies even without that because I have posted in the question/answer chain.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay, haha i didn't know that

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Yah. Watch your notification bar. @kevincourtes this time.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

No at this time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha can you help me with this one? it's my last problem

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

If you are onn a different message, the notification bar wll still pop up a message the second way.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

OK, so, did you find the possible solutions to this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Well, they are saying to graph it. So, what would you do for the first step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how to graph this

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Well, any equation. When you do the graph, you want everything on one side of the = sign. Then you can treat it as a function.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Can you graph \(y=x^3+3x^2-4\)? And do you see that all I did was move the 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i didn't answer, so when i graph the equation how do i know whats the answer?

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Well, it will be one of the zeros for x. And, negative dimensions are impossible.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

And by a zero for x, I mean when y=0, what is the x value?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like that

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

I think you forgot the -4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has to be -4?

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

No, I mean in the graph. https://www.desmos.com/calculator/ofj5xvssfg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok so the x value is 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Yah. 1.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Because the -2 is impossible, it has to be 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright thanks man!
