Find the bounds to the zeros of each polynomial function. Use the bounds to obtain a complete graph of f.

f(x)=3x3-2x2+x+4

Short Answer

Expert verified

Every zero of the polynomial function will lie between -73and 73.

The graph of the function is as follows,

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information  

We are given a polynomial function,

f(x)=3x3-2x2+x+4

We have to find the bounds to the zeros of the function and using it we need to obtain its graph.

02

Step 2. Concept used  

Let f denote a polynomial function whose leading coefficient is 1.

f(x)=xn+an-1xn-1+...+a1x+a0

A bound M on the real zeros of f is the smaller of the two numbers

Max1,a0+a1+...+an-1,1+Maxa0,a1,...,an-1

where Max means 鈥渃hoose the largest entry in .鈥

03

Step 3. Make the leading coefficient 1

The leading coefficient of the given polynomial is 3. So dividing the function by 3, we get

f(x)=x3-23x2+13x+43

On comparing with standard form we get,

a2=-23a1=13a0=43

04

Step 4. Finding the two numbers  

Using the formula the two numbers are found as,

Max1,a0+a1++an-1=Max1,-23+13+43=Max1,73=73

And,

1+Maxa0,a1,,an-1=1+Max-23,13,43=1+43=3+43=73

05

Step 5. Finding the bounds  

So, 73 is the bound for this graph and hence every zero of the given polynomial will lie between-73and73.

06

Step 6. Graphing the function  

Using the bound the graph of the function is as follows,
