Your function:

 f[x_] := 2*x - Sqrt[x^2 + 1]

You can get the x-Intercept with:

sol = x /. Solve[f[x] == 0, x] // First
(*-> 1/Sqrt[3]*)

Notice that

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Plot the result:

 Plot[f[x], {x, -1, 10},Epilog -> {Red, PointSize[0.02], Point[{sol, 0}]}]

  • $\begingroup$ You need to purchase a license. But since you are a student your school/university maybe already did that. $\endgroup$
