Evaluate the function for the given values of a and b. Then use the intermediate value theorem to determine which of the statements below is true.a = 1 and b = 2f(x) = 2x3 + 4x2 - 9x - 9

A. f(1) and f(2) have the same sign, therefore the intermediate value theorem cannot be used to determine whether the function f has a real zero between 1 and 2.
B. f(1) and f(2) have the same sign, therefore the function f has a real zero between 1 and 2.
C. f(1) and f(2) have opposite signs, therefore the function f does not have a real zero between 1 and 2.
D. f(1) and f(2) have opposite signs, therefore the function f has a real zero between 1 and 2.
