b.
To find: The real zeros of polynomial function given in part (a) using graphing utility.
b.
Answer to Problem 97E
The zeros of function
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The polynomial function and the graph of function
Concept used:
The value of x where the graph of function intersect or touch the x -axis is the zero of function.
Calculations:
From graph Figure-1, in part (a) we see that graph of function
Hence,
Conclusion:
The points
c.
To verify: The answers of part (a) using table feature of graphing utility.
c.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The zeros of function
Verification:
From the graph in Figure-1, we obtain a table of some solutions of the given polynomial function
There is change of the function
Thus, the results of part (a) stands verified.
