Question

freckles · Answer

So you need to solve 1+50sin(x)=0 on [-5,5]

freckles · Answer

have you done that?

anonymous · Answer

I have. They are irrational numbers though

freckles · Answer

as they should be

freckles · Answer

so do you need help finding the derivative?

anonymous · Answer

No I can do that part, I was just having a hard time with the zeroes

freckles · Answer

ah
I thought you said you found them.
and if you did what do you get?

anonymous · Answer

Well, one of them is approximately .02

freckles · Answer

-.02?

anonymous · Answer

Yes
