Let <em>f(x)</em> = <em>x</em>³ + <em>x</em> - 5. <em>f(x)</em> is a polynomial so it's continuous everywhere on its domain (all real numbers). Since
<em>f</em> (1) = 1³ + 1 - 5 = -3 < 0
and
<em>f</em> (2) = 2³ + 2 - 5 = 5 > 0
it follows by the intermediate value theorem that there at least one number <em>x</em> = <em>c</em> between 1 and 2 for which <em>f(c)</em> = 0.
Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
(7,1)

The Quadratic Function has the domain as the set of all real numbers.
For the range, start from minimum value to maximum value.
But because the parabola is downward as a < 0. Thus, there are no minimum value but the maximum value instead.
Therefore the range is y <= -4
Start by writing the system down, I will use
to represent 

Substitute the fact that
into the first equation to get,

Simplify into a quadratic form (
),

Now you can use Vieta's rule which states that any quadratic equation can be written in the following form,

which then must factor into

And the solutions will be
.
Clearly for small coefficients like ours
, this is very easy to figure out. To get 5 and 6 we simply say that
.
This fits the definition as
and
.
So as mentioned, solutions will equal to
but these are just x-values in the solution pairs of a form
.
To get y-values we must substitute 3 for x in the original equation and then also 2 for x in the original equation. Luckily we already know that substituting either of the two numbers yields a zero.
So the solution pairs are
and
.
Hope this helps :)
