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 = -2 and b = -1f(x) = 4x3 - 7x + 4
A. f(-2) and f(-1) have opposite signs, therefore f has a real zero between -2 and -1.
B. f(-2) and f(-1) have the same sign, therefore the intermediate value theorem cannot be used to determine whether f has a real zero between -2 and -1.
C. f(-2) and f(-1) have opposite signs, therefore f does not have a real zero between -2 and -1.
D. f(-2) and f(-1) have the same sign, therefore f does not have a real zero between -2 and -1.

Solve the problem.A rocket is shot straight up in the air from the ground at a rate of 68 feet per second. The rocket is tracked by a range finder that is 485 feet from the launch pad. Let d represent the distance from the rocket to the range finder and t represent the time, in seconds, since "blastoff". Express d as a function of t.
A. d(t) = 4852 + (68t)2
B. d(t) = 485 + 68t2
C. d(t) = 
D. d(t) =
