2.5 Exercise 79

Avg difficulty 2.5

Enter the expressions into your graphing utility and find the zeroes to the equation (the x-intercepts) by using 2nd CALC 2:zero. Recall finding zeroes will ask left bound (move your cursor to the left of the zero,enter), then right bound (move your cursor to the right of the zero,enter), then guess (move your cursor between the bounds near the zero, enter). Round your answers to the nearest thousandth.

Y 1 =−3 x 2 +8x−1 \text{Y}_{1} = −3 x^{2} + 8 x - 1
