The range of the polynomial p(x)=4 x³-3 x as x varies over the interval (- 1 2 , 1 2 ) is
Options
- A[-1,1]
- B(-1,1]
- C(-1,1)
- D(- 1 2 , 1 2 )
Correct answer
C. (-1,1)
Step-by-step solution
P ^ ( x )=12 x ²-3=3 (4 x ²-1 ) In (- 1 2 , 1 2 ) P ^ ( x ) < 0 P ( x ) is decreasing Range ( P (-1), P (1)) Range (-1,1)
