Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Understand the problem.

    To solve the equation 2x3−3x2−12x+5=102x^3 - 3x^2 - 12x + 5 = 10 using the graph, you need to find the xx-values where the curve y=2x3−3x2−12x+5y = 2x^3 - 3x^2 - 12x + 5 intersects the horizontal line y=10y=10.

  2. Identify the intersection points from the graph (or the table of values used to create the graph).

    We look for xx-values where y=10y=10. Using the table of values:

    X-3-2-101234
    Y-401125-8-15-437
    • The first intersection occurs between x=−2x=-2 (where y=1y=1) and x=−1x=-1 (where y=12y=12). Since 1<10<121 < 10 < 12, there is a solution in this interval. Estimating from a graph, this value is approximately x≈−1.2x \approx -1.2.

    • The second intersection occurs between x=−1x=-1 (where y=12y=12) and x=0x=0 (where y=5y=5). Since 5<10<125 < 10 < 12, there is a solution in this interval. Estimating from a graph, this value is approximately x≈−0.7x \approx -0.7.

    • The third intersection occurs between x=3x=3 (where y=−4y=-4) and x=4x=4 (where y=37y=37). Since −4<10<37-4 < 10 < 37, there is a solution in this interval. Estimating from a graph, this value is approximately x≈3.3x \approx 3.3.

    The solutions to 2x3−3x2−12x+5=102x^3 - 3x^2 - 12x + 5 = 10 from the graph are approximately:

    x≈−1.2,x≈−0.7,x≈3.3x \approx -1.2, \quad x \approx -0.7, \quad x \approx 3.3

    The solutions are x≈−1.2,−0.7,3.3x \approx -1.2, -0.7, 3.3.
