f(x) = x^3 - 7x^2 + 5x - 6; f(3)
a. -27
b. -6
c. -24
d. 27
2. Find the y-intercept.

a. y-intercept is 200
b. y-intercept is -800
c. y-intercept is -200
d. y-intercept is 800
3. Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that each polynomial has a real zero between the given integers.
f(x) = x^4 + 6x^3 - 18x^2, between 2 and 3
a. f(2) = 81; f(3) = -8
b. f(2) = -28; f(3) = 81
c. f(2) = -8; f(3) = 81
d. f(2) = -2; f(3) = 28
