Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that there is a r
Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that there is a root of the given equation. x^4 + x - 3 = 0
Solution
1)given x4+x-3=0
let f(x)=x4+x-3
f(x) is polynomial , so it is continous
interval is not specified .
i take intervals (-2,0),(0,2)
for interval (-2,0)
f(-2) =16-2-3= 11
f(0)=0+0-3 =-3
f(0)< 0 <f(-2)
therefore by intermediate value theorem there exists c(-2,0) such that f(c)=0. so the equation has a root
for interval (0,2)
f(0)=0+0-3 =-3
f(2) =16+2-3= 15
f(0)< 0 <f(2)
therefore by intermediate value theorem there exists c(0,2) such that f(c)=0. so the equation has a root
