Use the intermediate value theorem to show that the polynomial has a real zero between the given integers. f(x) = x - 5x- 1; between 2 and 4 Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box(es) within your choice. (Simplify your answers.) O A. Because f(x) is a polynomial with f(2) = >0 and f(4) = >0, the function has a real zero between 2 and 4. O B. Because f(x) is a polynomial with f(2) = >0 and f(4) = <0, the function has a real zero between 2 and 4. O C. Because f(x) is a polynomial with f(2) = <0 and f(4) = <0, the function has a real zero between 2 and 4. O D. Because f(x) is a polynomial with f(2) = <0 and f(4) = >0, the function has a real zero between 2 and 4. Click to select and enter your answer(s) and then click Check Answer.
