Provide an appropriate response.Suppose that a polynomial function P is defined in such a way that 
and P(4) = 6. Can we be certain that there is no zero between -1 and 4? Explain using a graph.
What will be an ideal response?
No, we can't be certain. The intermediate value theorem does not apply in this case. Consider the following graph. (Graphs shown may vary.)
