Machine generated alternative text: General approach for finding zeros: Calculate f' and solve f '(x) 0. Determine the intervals where f/ is positive and negative. By the previous step, determine the intervals where f is monotonically increasing and decreasing. e Evaluate f at the endpoints of each interval. If f changes sign on the interval, there is exactly one root on that interval. If it does not change sign, there are no roots on that interval.
