Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to determine if P(x)=2x^5-7x+1 has a zero in the interval [1,2]. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to determine if P(x)=2x^5-7x+1 has a zero in the interval [1,2].
-------
Check P(1) and P(2).
If the signs are different there is a zero for P(x) in that interval.
------------
You could also check by graphing P(x)
