f(x) = (x - 1) (4x + 3) (3x - 8) has zeros at x = 3/4, x= 1, and x = 8/3.
What is the sign of f on the interval - 3/4

Respuesta :

Using the given roots, it is found that on the interval [tex]-\frac{3}{4} < x < 1[/tex], the function is positive.

The function is:

[tex]f(x) = (x - 1)(4x + 3)(3x - 8)[/tex]

The zeroes are:

[tex]x = -\frac{3}{4}, x = 1, x = \frac{8}{3}[/tex]

Between two zeroes, the function has the same sign, hence, to find the sign on the interval [tex]-\frac{3}{4} < x < 1[/tex], we find the numeric value of the function of a value of x on the interval, for example f(0), for x = 0.

Then:

[tex]f(0) = (0 - 1)[4(0) + 3][3(0) - 8] = (-1)(3)(-8) = 24[/tex]

Since f(0) is positive, the function is positive on the interval [tex]-\frac{3}{4} < x < 1[/tex].
