Question

directions : use a calculator to obtain at least eight points that are solutions to the equation. then graph the equation by plotting the points.


y = x^3 - x^2 - x + 1



How do you solve this without a calculator? cause were not suppose to use one.

Thanks!

Answer 1

have you covered the remainder theorem yet?

Answer 2

Answer 3

so you may want to brush up on those

Answer 4
