Expert Solution
Step 1

We will apply the intermediate value theorem. For a continuous function f(x) if f(a) and f(b) differ in sign then there must be at least one root of f(x) in the interval [a, b]

Step 2

Let's test each option one by one and sequentially:

f(x) = x + sinx - 1

First option: 

f(3π/2) = 3π/2 + sin(3π/2) - 1 = 3π/2 - 1 - 1 > 0

f(2π) = 2π + sin2π - 1 = 2π + 0 - 1 > 0

the function has the same sign at both the boundary points, hence there may not be a solution in this interval.

Second option:

f(π) = π + sinπ - 1 = π - 1 - 1 > 0

f(3π/2) = 3π/2 + sin(3π/2) - 1 = 3π/2 - 1 - 1 > 0

the function has the same sign at both the boundary points, hence there may not be a solution in this interval.
