Question 379862: Evaluate the function for the given values of a and b then use the intermediate value theorem to determine which of the statements below is true.
a=-1 and b =0
f(x)=6x^3-9x^2-7x+3
a).f(-1) and f(0) have the same sign, therefore the function f has a real zero between -1 and 0
b.)f(-1) and f(0) have opposite signs, therfore the function f does not have a real zero between -1 and 0
c.) f(-1) and f(0) have the opposite sign, therefore the function f has a real zero between -1 and 0
d.) f(-1) and F(0) have the same sign, therefore intermediate value theorem cannot be used to determine wheter the function f has a real zero between -1 and 0 Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
