Question

Use the bisection method or a graphing calculator to find the coordinates of the two points on the graph of that lie r = 1 unit from the origin. Give the result to the nearest hundredth, I just need a direction to go on this problem

Answer 1

Distance formula
1=((x-0)^2 +(x^3-0)^2)^1/2
1=(x^2+x^6)
0=x^6+x^2-0
Use x=1 and x=.5
Use bisection method
to continue to the nearest tenth
x=.83 and y=.83^3=y=.56
The points are -.83,-.56,.56,and .83
