Provide an appropriate response.Explain how the intermediate value theorem can be used to show that there is a zero for  between -1 and -3.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. f(-1> 0 and f(-3< 0. Since the function is a polynomial function it is continuous on the interval between -1 and -3. Thus the function must contain a point between -1 and -3 such that
