Hey guys I was given an assignment as part of my intro to calculus course, but I am not sure what the question is actually asking me to find or solve
use a graphics calculator to solve the following equation
2x^3 - 3x^2 - 11x + 6 = 0
am I looking for the zeros of the function or am I trying to solve for x? and how do I use a graphics calculator to solve this sort of equation? I can solve for x algebraically and I can use my calculator to find the x-intercepts but I don't know how to solve this problem with my calculator.
I know the zero's of the functions are y= 0 when x= -2, 0.5 and 3 but I don't think this is what the question is asking for??
