the value 5 is a an upper bound for the zeros of the function shown below f(x)=x^4+x^3-11x^2-9x+18
A. TRUE
B. FALSE

Answer:
Answer to this question is TRUE.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of the function:
[tex]f(x)=x^4+x^3-11x^2-9x+18[/tex] is attached to the answer.
Clearly by looking at the graph we could see that the zeros of the function f(x) are -3, -2, 1 and 3.
All the zeros are distinct.
" Also upper bound of a number 'p' means the set of all those numbers which are greater than 'p' ".
Here 5 will be an upper bound for the zeros of the function f(x) since all the 4 zeros of f(x) are less than 5.
Hence, the given statement that the value 5 is an upper bound for the zeros of the function f(x) is TRUE.
