This blog dates back to 2015-16 while I was teaching senior high school Extension 1 Mathematics (formerly 3U Maths) in Sydney, Australia. It contains a wide range of explanations, notes, and resources covering senior secondary-level mathematics topics. The easiest ways to navigate are by using the search bar or browsing through the labels/tags. If you find my content helpful and would like to support my work, a coffee donation is greatly appreciated — thank you!

GROVE HSC 3U - TEST YOURSELF 9 (APPROX OF ROOTS) - Q6
It's up to you to find to values of $x$ such that the function value changes sign.
It will be easy trial and error. (unlikely in an actual test)
Let's randomly (with a bit of intuition) try $x=0$ and $x=2$!
$f(x)=x^3+3x-7$
$f(0)=-7<0$
$f(2)=2^3+3(2)-7=8+6-7=7>0$
Since $f(0)<0$ and $f(2)>0$, then there is at least one root between $x=0$ and $x=2$.
Now proceed to half the interval 3 times.....
