You can find the real roots by graphing.
x=- 0.75
Let's enter the function in the calculator by pushing Y= and writing the right-hand side of the equation in the first row.
Next, by pushing GRAPH, the calculator will draw the function.
We can see that the function has one real root. To find the x- intercept of f, push 2nd, TRACE, and then choose the second option, zero.
Next, we need to choose a left bound and right bound for the zero value. Finally, the calculator will ask for a guess of where the zero might be.
Therefore, we obtain that the x- intercept is at x=- 0.75.
