Homework Statement



[tex]f(x) = x^3 + x^2 - 11x^2 -9x +18[/tex]

when

[tex]f(x) = 6[/tex]


Homework Equations



Using Mathcad

Polyroots, solve function,



The Attempt at a Solution



I don't know how to paste mathscad, but i can get solution using polyroots for

[tex]f(x) = 0[/tex]

I don't know how to modify the mathscad code so that i can get

[tex]f(x) = 6[/tex]

I know how to use the basic root, polyroot and solve functions.

I have done an X/Y graph, but can't seem to get 6 on the y axis, always a little over or under.

Help is really, really appreciated, needed a.s.a.p,

Thanks

Why not try and solve [tex]f(x)-6=0[/tex]?
 
Yeah, your 100% right, thanks for that.

Funny how the simple things always get over-looked.

Thanks a million again
