This plot shows a zero of the expression-a value of X for which the
value of the expression is zero. The zero is located where the graph of
the expression crosses the horizontal axis.
Move
the cross hairs to the approximate intersection of the graph and
the horizontal axis. (Use~, [!], [3], and [}] to move the cross hairs.)
" " ,;, ! " '" I
Digitize this estimate for the zero.
[ill[]
You'll use this point as an estimate for finding the exact zero of the
expression. (In case the expression has more than one root, the esti-
mate indicates which one you want.)
