Answer 2

f(x)=x^3-7x-6 Since I don't have the graph and this is not a perfect cube, I will have to rely on Newton :P

x-(f(x)/(dy/dx))

x-(x^3-7x-6)/(3x^2-7)

(2x^3+6)/(3x^2-7), letting x1=0

0, -6/7, -.988, -.9999, -.99999999999, -1

(x^3-7x-6)/(x+1)

x^2 r -x^2-7x-6
-x r -6x-6
-6 r 0

(x+1)(x^2-x-6)=0

(x+1)(x-3)(x+2)=0

x= -2, -1, 3
