HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

since you have choices, you could check them plug in the numbers and see which ones give you zero or you could cheat which is a lot easier

u got this misty?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cheat

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[f(x)=x^3 + 2x^2 – 9x – 18\] lets try 1

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[f(1)=1+2-9-18\]which , whatever it is, is not 0, so we can eliminate any answer with 1 init

OpenStudy (misty1212):

@aloud yeah i think so

OpenStudy (misty1212):

ok now the cheat method http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=x%5E3+%2B+2x%5E2+%E2%80%93+9x+%E2%80%93+18
