The problem asks you to use the Intermediate Value Theorem to prove that a polynomial f(x)=1+2x+9x^2...3^101x^101 has a real zero.

How would you do this, especially with such a large number? Thanks for any help!

Favre Sets Quarterback Victory Record
By TOM CANAVAN,AP

Filed Under: Sports News
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (Sept. 16) - Brett Favre didn't need a rocket arm to become the winningest quarterback in NFL history on Sunday. His 17 years of football knowledge and a near-perfect second half against a bad defense were plenty.

Favre completed his first 14 second-half passes and threw three touchdown passes to rally the Green Bay Packers to a 35-13 victory over the New York Giants' porous defense.

"Maybe someday down the road it will mean a lot," a typically humble Favre said after the 149th win of his career, moving past Hall of Famer John Elway.

What meant more to Favre was the game ball his teammates handed him after the Packers got off to their first 2-0 start since 2001.

"I'm not going to sit here and lie to you," added Favre, who was 29-of-38 for 286 yards and one interception. "I'm not going to turn it down. I've always been about the team. That hasn't changed. I think it's unfair that the quarterback gets labeled with wins and loses. I think it's a team effort."

While Favre refused to bask in the glory, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said any NFL record is a monumental achievement.

"I think a lot is made of statistics and touchdowns, but I think it's wins," McCarthy said. "When you go out and win over that period of time, that's the ultimate compliment a quarterback can have."

Hi,

The Tenant that signed the lease is a church member(Pastor). He left the property without informing us and another member who started residing there payed the rent on time. He lived there for an year and we realized he is overusing the property
and always more than the family members are staying aboard.
We asked him to vacate and listed a set of damaged items that need to be fixed. After he left we realized he hasn't fixed anything and the deposit covered most of the fixes. He is taking us to small claims court now.
He didn't pay the deposit nor did he sign the lease. He didn't leave us with his change of address, so we didn't know where to send the letter saying that the deposit covers the damages. By the time we realized that we can send the letter to our rental home itself it is past 21 days.
He is taking us to small claims court saying that we haven't responded within 21 days.
Do we stand a chance if we contend

I have had a runny nose for about 3-4 weeks, some days are worse than others. But i got a dog (short-haired) about a month ago and I really never had any sickness problems. Now I'm thinking maybe it's the dog or the dust inside the house? But I have another dog for 5 years which is long haired.

How can i figure out if im allergic to my new small pet. (short-haired) or if i got some odd disease.

I heard of one case where a guy was able to force the court to allow him to act as prosecutor. This was not a civil case. The county prosecutor would not prosecute the crime so this guy found some obscure law or case law or legal rationale that allowed him to act as prosecutor. It may have been along the lines that the state was entitled to representation and the prosecutor was not representing them so . . .

Does anyone know anything about this?

I have a Onkyo stereo receiver TX-8011 and Paradigm Atoms. Setup is okay but I'm not happy with the sound sometimes.
It is great with certain tracks but lacks clarity in others. I understand that Atoms are used as rear speakers in their home theater kits. Thats the mistake i did. It has very good bass and brings out more in vocals.

The music isn't very detailed. Treble is bright and little harsh when volume is cranked up beyond 40%. Drums and guitars sound good but it lacks that final details.

I just want a better pair of speakers for music.

Will Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 or the Polk RTi4 be better?

We signed a month to month rental agreement in Sacramento, Ca and moved in to the apartment on September 5th. We did not want to sign a 6 month plus lease because we were in the process of looking to buy a home which we had discussed with the office so they were aware of our intentions. We had an offer excepted to purchase our home on September 14th and gave our 30 day notice on Sept. 14th in writing to let them know that we would be moving out on Oct. 14th. We are now being told that we will have to pay rent up until Oct. 31st. I was under the impression that a month to month agreement was just that.... month to month. We moved in Sept. 5th, gave a 30 day notice on Sept. 14th to vacate on Oct. 14th. What am I missing or not understanding about a month to month agreement. We will be here a month plus some days and have given them a 30 day notice. why would we have to pay rent until october 31st?

I have heard it said that a judge only makes a decision (without a jury present)on what he has heard, therefore is not responsible for any other mitigating circumstances that may occur or that has occured due to his ignorance or from his lack of forsight or from that which has or has not been presented befor him. Then what makes him more "God Like" than the rest of us? What has he heard or learned that the rest of us have not been privy to?

Hey,

Our class was doing the unknown carbonate/bicarbonate lab. Here was the question:

It is possible to cause a carbonate to decompose if heated to a high enough temperature. Write an equation that describes what happens when sodium or potassium carbonate decomposes upon strong heating.

I thought it would be K2CO3 ===> K2O + CO2
