Explain why the polynomial \(p\) defined by $$ p(x)=x^{6}+7 x^{5}-2 x-3 $$ has a zero in the interval (0,1) .
Explain why the composition of two rational functions is a rational function.
Without doing any calculations or using a calculator, explain why $$ x^{2}+87559743 x-787727821 $$ has no integer zeros. [Hint: If \(x\) is an odd integer, is the expression above even or odd? If \(x\) is an even integer, is the expression above even or odd?]
Suppose \(p(x)=2 x^{5}+5 x^{4}+2 x^{3}-1 .\) Show that -1 is the only integer zero of \(p\).
Suppose \(r\) is the function with domain \((0, \infty)\) defined by $$ r(x)=\frac{1}{x^{4}+2 x^{3}+3 x^{2}} $$ for each positive number \(x\). (a) Find two distinct points on the graph of \(r\). (b) Explain why \(r\) is a decreasing function on \((0, \infty)\). (c) Find two distinct points on the graph of \(r^{-1}\).
