When you know or suspect that there is going to be more than one
solution to a problem then the
estimates.
For example:
When you plot this you can see that the solutions are near -2 and 1
If we now switch to the
This will give solutions of -2
In this case the problem shown will graph easily on the default
case. You may need to adjust the axes in
