Show that the polynomial function f(x)=3x^3-10-x+9 has a real zero between -3 and -2

Sagot :

We need to integrate

  • 3x^2-10-x+9=3x^3-x-1

[tex]\\ \tt\Rrightarrow \left[\dfrac{3}{4}x^4-\dfrac{x^2}{2}-x\right]_{-3}^{-2}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\Rrightarrow \dfrac{3}{4}(-2)^4-\dfrac{(-2)^2}{2}-(-2)-\left(\dfrac{3}{4}(-3)^4-\dfrac{(-3)^2}{2}+3\right)[/tex]

It has a zero in between-3 and -2

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate f(x) for x = - 3 and - 2

f(- 3) = 3(- 3)² - 10(- 3) + 9 = 3(- 27) + 30 + 9 = - 81 + 39 = - 42

Then (- 3, - 42 ) is below the x- axis

f(- 2) = 3(- 2)³ - 10(- 2) + 9 = 3(- 8) + 20 + 9 = - 24 + 29 = 5

Then (- 2, 5 ) is above the x- axis

Since f(x) is below the x- axis at x = - 3 and above the x- axis at x = - 2

Then it must cross the x- axis between x = - 3 and x = - 2

Indicating there is a real zero between - 3 and - 2
