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

Question 379966: I have to find the zeros or roots of each function or equation by factoring & graphing.
g(x)= 2x^2 - 25x + 12

Question 379999: Please help me! I am stuck and don't know if I'm doing this right and it's due tomorrow!!! I am confused when I am letting y=0 and solving for x using the quadratic formula... that is where I get stumped.
y=x^2-2x-2
I need to find the vertex and any two convenient points to sketch the graph. This is what I've done so far and I will note when I get confused.
Letting y=0
{0=-(2)+- sqrt(-2)^2-4(1)(2)all over 2}
then I end up with
{x=2+- sqrt(-4)} over 2
I do not know where to get next. Do I divide the 2 into the 2 and 4? Then that would give me -1 +- 2 right??? Then I would set them to zero and have my x points?
I have solved for y by letting x=0
y=o^2-2(0)-2
y=-2
(0,-2)
I have found the vertex by using: x=b/2(a)
x=2/2(1) y=(1)^2-2(1)-2
x=1 y= -3 giving me plots of (1,-3)
I really hope someone can help me. I know it is late but I have run out of resources. Thanks D.
