Use synthetic division to check that the number k is a lower bound for the real zeros of the function f.

k=-7; f(x)= 5x^3 - 8x^2 + x -5

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The signs on the bottom line alternate, so the value of k is, indeed, a lower bound.

Comment on lower bound for this cubic

The signs of the coefficients alternate, so Descartes' rule of signs will tell you there are zero negative real roots. That is, 0 is a lower bound for real roots. No synthetic division is needed.

b

step-by-step explanation:

if a was wrong then it has to be b it cant be c either because not all the y intercepts are the same!

ok now , i would like brainlest plz
