Answer

$x= -1.00, -0.25$ and $0.25$

Work Step by Step

Given equation- $16 x^{3}+16x^{2}$ = $x+1$ i.e. $16 x^{3}+16x^{2}-x-1$ = $0$ in the interval [-2,2] We are asked to find all solutions 'x' that satisfy $-2 \leq x \leq 2$, so we use a graphing calculator to graph the equation in a viewing rectangle for which the x-values are restricted to the interval [-2,2] . Graphing $y$ = $16 x^{3}+16x^{2}-x-1$, using graphing calculator- There are three $x-intercepts$ in the given interval, $x= -1.00, -0.25$ and $0.25$ Thus in the given interval, $x= -1.00, -0.25$ and $0.25$
