Question 628858: use the intermediate value theorem to show that the polynomial function has a zero in the given interval
f(x)= x^5-x^4+9x^3-7x^2-19x+16;[1.2,1.6]
findthe value of f (1.2) simplify, round to 3 decimal places
find the same for (1.6) Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Insert each of the values in place of in the function, then do the arithmetic. If you get a positive result for one of your values and a negative result for the other, then the intermediate value theorem says there has to be a zero on the interval.
