Extra Credit

Submit the following to Prof Habib by September 16: Consider the cubic function \(f(x)=x^3+ax^2+bx+c\). Calculate \(\lim\limits_{x\to\pm\infty}\frac{f(x)}{x^3}\)and use this to show that there is a real number \(c\) such that \(f(c)=0\).

Edit on Sep 16: Last date of submission of Extra Credit problem is changed to Friday, Sep  20. Submission must be to Prof Habib. Also note that there are two uses of \(c\) in the problem which is an oversight. Change the second \(c\) to \(d\).
