Answer:
Explanation:
See the attached worksheet.
A spreadsheet was set up a column for x and the result of the equation in y. A random set of integer x values were chosen, from -10 to + 10, just to see the behavior of the graph. It can be seen that the values of y are getting larger quickly as x becomes more negative, and vice versa as x becomes more position. The table also shows that there must be a zero point between x of 2 and 3, as y goes from 1 to -11, To confirm there is only one point that the function crosses the x axis, a quick graph was made (on worksheet). Off behavior, but it seems likely that the function only crosses the x axis once. So the answer is a zero between 2 and 3.
x of were chosen to see what a quick graphing of the function reveals
