(d) Find the zero of the function f(x) = 7x + 12 · ln((1 - x)/x). (Be careful with the domain!) (e) The airyai function is a special function of historical importance, but likely unfamiliar. (It is available when MTH229 is loaded.) Find its largest negative zero as follows: Plot airyai to find a bracketing interval, then use fzero to get a precise numerical value for the zero. From your graph, what is a suitable bracketing interval? [-3, 0] [0, 2?] [-10, 10] [-5, 5] [-2, 2] (f) The value of the largest negative zero of airyai is:

Step 1
Based on the given options, we can see that the interval [-3, 0] is the most suitable one. Now, we can use the fzero function to find the precise numerical value for the largest negative zero of the AiryAi function within the interval [-3, 0]. Show more…

Use the Intermediate Value Theorem and a graphing utility to approximate the zero of the function in the interval $[0,1]$. Repeatedly "zoom in" on the graph of the function to approximate the zero accurate to two decimal places. Use the zero or root feature of the graphing utility to approximate the zero accurate to four decimal places. $$ f(x)=x^{3}+3 x-2 $$

In Exercises $87-90$ , use the Intermediate Value Theorem and a graphing utility to approximate the zero of the function in the interval $[0,1] .$ Repeatedly "zoom in" on the graph of the function to approximate the zero accurate to two decimal places. Use the zero or root feature of the graphing utility to approximate the zero accurate to four decimal places. $$ f(x)=x^{3}+x-1 $$
(a) Approximate $f$ by a Taylor polynomial with degree $n$ at the number a. (b) Use Taylor's Inequality to estimate the accuracy of the approximation $f(x) \approx T_{n}(x)$ when $x$ lies in the given interval. (c) Check your result in part (b) by graphing $\left|R_{n}(x)\right|$ $$f(x)=e^{x^{2}}, \quad a=0, \quad n=3, \quad 0 \leqslant x \leqslant 0.1$$
