Answer:

The equation does not have a real root in the interval \rm [0,1]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make use of the intermediate value theorem.

The theorem states that if f is a continuous function whose domain is the interval [a, b], then it takes on any value between f(a) and f(b) at some point within the interval. There are two corollaries:

  1. If a continuous function has values of opposite sign inside an interval, then it has a root in that interval. This is also known as Bolzano's theorem.
  2. The image of a continuous function over an interval is itself an interval.

Of course, in our case, we will make use of the first one.

First, we need to proof that our function is continues in \rm [0,1], which it is since every polynomial is a continuous function on the entire line of real numbers. Then, we can apply the first corollary to the interval \rm [0,1], which means to evaluate the equation in 0 and 1:

f(x)=x^3-3x+8\\f(0)=8\\f(1)=6

Since both values have the same sign, positive in this case, we can say that by virtue of the first corollary of the intermediate value theorem the equation does not have a real root in the interval \rm [0,1]. I attached a plot of the equation in the interval \rm [-2,2] where you can clearly observe how the graph does not cross the x-axis in the interval.

You have one cubic mile of water. you release it at 1000 gallons per
Tatiana [17]

It will take 764664.6875 days to empty the water

<h3>How to determine the time to empty?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Volume = 1 cubic mile
  • Rate = 1000 gallons per minutes

The time is calculated as:

Time = Volume/Rate

So, we have:

Time = 1 cubic mile ÷ 1000 gallons per minute

Convert gallons to cubic mile

Time = 1 cubic mile ÷ (9.0817e-13 * 1000) cubic mile per minute

Divide

Time = 1.10111715 × 10^9 minute

Convert to days

Time = 764664.6875 days

Hence, it will take 764664.6875 days to empty the water
