The value of -1 is a lower bound for the zeros of the function show below.
f(x)=x^4+x^3-11x^2-9x+18.
a. true
b. false

To perform this check, you must use the following theorem: is a lower bound for the zeroes of if, when divide by , the quotient and the remainter alternate signs.

Since the long division yields the result

You can see that the signs don't alternate (the last two terms are positive). So, -1 is not a lower bound.

In fact, the actual roots of the polynomial are -3, -2, 1, 3, so as you can see there are roots smaller than -1.

b.-4 units

all you   do is count how many times you move

40 x 50 = 2000
