Show that the root of Equation x^3-6x+3=0 lies between 2 and 3 |
|
Answer» Given equation is x3 - 6x + 3 = 0 let f(x) = x3 - 6x + 3 Now, f(2) = 23 - 6 x 2 + 3 = 8 - 12 + 3 = 11 - 12 = -1<0 And f(3) = 33 - 6 x 3 + 3 = 27 - 18 + 3 = 12 > 0 Thus, f(2) f(3) > 0 Therefore, the root of the equation x3 - 6x + 3 = 0 lies between 2 and 3 |
