Cubic Intersection
1. Stated Problem: Find the intersection points of the function $F(x) = x^3 - 1$ with the line $y + 7 = 0$.
2. Rewrite the line equation to standard form: $y + 7 = 0 \implies y = -7$.
3. Since $F(x) = y$, set the function equal to the line: $$x^3 - 1 = -7$$
4. Simplify the equation: $$x^3 - 1 + 7 = 0 \implies x^3 + 6 = 0$$
5. Solve for $x$: $$x^3 = -6 \implies x = \sqrt[3]{-6} = -\sqrt[3]{6}$$
6. Calculate numerical approximation: $$x \approx -1.817$$
7. The $y$-coordinate at the intersection is $y = -7$.
8. Final Answer: The function $F(x) = x^3 - 1$ intersects the line $y = -7$ at the point $$\left(-\sqrt[3]{6}, -7\right) \approx (-1.817, -7)$$.
