(For Questions 2 to 5)
Consider the function f(x) = x^3−2x^2−4x+ 2.
Question 3
Which of the following statements is true about the given function?
(1) The Intermediate Value Theorem does not hold between x = −1 and x = 1.
(2) The function has two roots in the interval [−2, 4].
(3) It will take at least 15 iterations of the bisection method to approximate the root between
x = −2/3 and x = 2 correct to 10^−4.
(4) It will take no more than 14 iterations for the bisection method to converge to the root between
x = −2/3 and x = 2 correct to 10^−5.
(5) The function has at least one singular point.
