i have to find a cut line (any function) for the equation y=-0.1x^3+1.4x^2-4.5x+5, domain of 0 to 10.
The line has to allow the amount above to fill in below the line.
I am unsure of where to start.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

What is the definition of "cut line"? What are its special properties?

I do not understand the following statement: "The line has to allow the amount above to fill in below the line."
 
… a cut line (any function) …
Are you saying any linear function?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. It seems like you might be talking about equal areas.

If the function were non-linear, then we could find a function similar to the green curve below, where the areas between the two curves are equal.

Is this close to what you're thinking? 8-)
