We are given the equation $x^5 - x^2 + 2x + 3 = 0$ and asked to show that it has at least one real root. Then we must find an interval of length 0.01 that contains a root using a calculator.

1. Problem Description

We are given the equation $x^5 - x^2 + 2x + 3 = 0$ and asked to show that it has at least one real root. Then we must find an interval of length 0.01 that contains a root using a calculator.

2. Solution Steps

(a) To prove that the equation $x^5 - x^2 + 2x + 3 = 0$ has at least one real root, we can use the Intermediate Value Theorem. Let $f(x) = x^5 - x^2 + 2x + 3$. We need to find two values, $a$ and $b$, such that $f(a)$ and $f(b)$ have opposite signs.

Let's try $x = -1$: $f(-1) = (-1)^5 - (-1)^2 + 2(-1) + 3 = -1 - 1 - 2 + 3 = -1$.

Let's try $x = 0$: $f(0) = (0)^5 - (0)^2 + 2(0) + 3 = 3$.

Since $f(-1) = -1 < 0$ and $f(0) = 3 > 0$, by the Intermediate Value Theorem, there exists a real root $c$ in the interval $(-1, 0)$ such that $f(c) = 0$.

(b) We want to find an interval of length 0.01 that contains a root. Since we know that the root lies in the interval $(-1, 0)$, we can use a calculator to narrow down the interval. We need to find $x$ such that $f(x) = 0$.

We know $f(-1) = -1$ and $f(0) = 3$. Let's try $x = -0.8$: $f(-0.8) \approx (-0.8)^5 - (-0.8)^2 + 2(-0.8) + 3 \approx -0.32768 - 0.64 - 1.6 + 3 = 0.43232$.

Let's try $x = -0.9$: $f(-0.9) \approx (-0.9)^5 - (-0.9)^2 + 2(-0.9) + 3 \approx -0.59049 - 0.81 - 1.8 + 3 = -0.20049$.

So the root lies between $-0.9$ and $-0.8$.

Let's try $x = -0.85$: $f(-0.85) \approx (-0.85)^5 - (-0.85)^2 + 2(-0.85) + 3 \approx -0.4437 - 0.7225 - 1.7 + 3 = 0.1338$.

So the root lies between $-0.9$ and $-0.85$.

Let's try $x = -0.88$: $f(-0.88) \approx (-0.88)^5 - (-0.88)^2 + 2(-0.88) + 3 \approx -0.5277 - 0.7744 - 1.76 + 3 = -0.0621$.

So the root lies between $-0.88$ and $-0.85$.

Let's try $x = -0.86$: $f(-0.86) \approx (-0.86)^5 - (-0.86)^2 + 2(-0.86) + 3 \approx -0.4699 - 0.7396 - 1.72 + 3 = 0.0105$.

The root lies between $-0.88$ and $-0.86$. The difference is $0.02 > 0.01$.

Let's try $x = -0.87$: $f(-0.87) \approx (-0.87)^5 - (-0.87)^2 + 2(-0.87) + 3 \approx -0.4980 - 0.7569 - 1.74 + 3 = -0.0 \approx -0.0$.

Let's check values in this range more carefully.

$f(-0.87) \approx -0.498-0.7569-1.74+3 = -0.498-0.7569-1.74+3 = 0.0051$. Since $-0.87 < -0.86$, the root lies between -0.88 and -0.

7. Consider the interval [-0.87, -0.86]. Its length is 0.01 and $f(-0.87) \approx 0.0051$, which is close to

0.

3. Final Answer

(a) The equation $x^5 - x^2 + 2x + 3 = 0$ has at least one real root because $f(-1) = -1$ and $f(0) = 3$, so by the Intermediate Value Theorem, there is a root in the interval $(-1, 0)$.

(b) The interval of length 0.01 that contains a root is $[-0.88, -0.87]$. A smaller interval could be $[-0.87,-0.86]$

The length is 0.01 and we know there is a root between -0.88 and -0.

6. $f(-0.87)$ is close to

0.
