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) = 2x5 + 2x3 - 7x2 - 2
A. f(1 ) and f(2) have the same sign, therefore the intermediate value theorem cannot be used to determine whether 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.
