Lower bound:
Answer to Problem 67RE
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Function:
Upper bound:
Lower bound:
Calculation:
- Verifying upper bound:
- Verifying lower bound:
- Calculation of real zeros:
Using synthetic division,
Here, the last row values are positive values or zeros.
Hence, the upper bound of given function is x = 1.
Using synthetic division,
Here, the last row values are alternatively positive and negative.
Hence, the lower bound of given function is
Here, the zeros are calculated using graphical method.
Calculation for graph:
Consider
Values of x | Values of f ( x ) |
0 | -3 |
1 | 2 |
-1 | -14 |
2 | 25 |
-2 | -55 |
By taking different values of x , the graph can be plotted.
Graph:
Interpretation:
By observing graph, it is clear that the curve of the function meets x -axis at
Hence, the zeros of the function are
Conclusion:
Therefore, the zeros of given polynomial function are

The concentration of a drug in a patient's bloodstream h hours after it was injected is given by 0.17 h Ah= h²+2' Find and interpret lim A(h). Remember, the answers to word problems should always be given in a complete h→00 sentence, with proper units, in the context of the problem.arrow_forward
