Also a shift (increase or decrease) of y at x=0, although the difference with the former is that a doesn’t
get multiplies by any multiplier infront of x (in this case 2) anymore.

15:

Although the outcome remains the same based on rules I learned at high school I still would argue for
scaling followed by shifting scaling:

If you have the function (ax+b)*c -> you first compute c*ax and after that add up b*c.

In this case you could use differentiation:

F(x)= x3+3x2+kx

ΔF(x) = 3x2+6x+k=0

ΔF(x)= b2-4ac (discriminant) =0

62-4*3k=0

K= =3

Therefore k must be higher or equal to 3

Based on using the tool “get coordinates” the value of x0 is

{0., 0.},
{-0.9, 0.310345},

This concept can be defined as a = a³ + 1

The function f(x) = x³ - x + 1 is

f(-1) = -1 < 0 f(2) = 7 > 0

Therefore, there should be a value such that f(a) = 0

If we then apply differentiation:

Δ(x)=3x2-1=0
x1= x2= -

f( -min.

f(- -max.

f(-∞)=-∞

So the solution is close to x = -1.324717957497, but a number I don’t have.

34:

x2cos20πx=0

f(x)=x2
g(x)=x2
h(x)= x2cos(20πx)

or

g(x)≤h(x)≤f(x)
-x2 ≤ 0 ≤x2

-x2=0

-x2=0

Therefore =0
