18. x
− x − 12 = 0
SOLUTION:  
2
Graph the related function f (x) = x
− x − 12.
The x-intercepts of the graph appear to be at –3 and 4, so the solutions are –3 and 4.
CHECK: Check each solution in the original equation.
      
 
Therefore, the solutions are
3 and 4.

+ 4x − 3 = 0
SOLUTION:  
2
+ 4x − 3.
Graph the related function f (x) = x
The x-intercepts are located between –5 and –4 and between 0 and 1. Make a table using an increment of 0.1 for
the x-values located between –5 and –4 and between 0 and 1. Look for a change in the signs of the function values.
The function value that is closest to zero is the best approximation for a zero of the function.
