To use the Intermediate Value Theorem, we need to find the values of f(x) for the endpoints of the intervals.
1. Interval [-4, -2]:
f(-4) = -4 + 6(-4)^3 - (-4)^2 - 30(-4) + 4 = -4 + 6(-64) - 16 + 120 + 4 = -4 - 384 - 16 + 120 + 4 = -280
f(-2) = -2 + 6(-2)^3 - (-2)^2 - 30(-2) + 4 = -2 + 6(-8) - 4 - 60 + 4 = -2 - 48 - 4 - 60 + 4 = -114
2. Interval [-2, 0]:
f(-2) = -2 + 6(-2)^3 - (-2)^2 - 30(-2) + 4 = -2 + 6(-8) - 4 - 60 + 4 = -2 - 48 - 4 - 60 + 4 = -114
f(0) = 0 + 6(0)^3 - (0)^2 - 30(0) + 4 = 0 + 6(0) - 0 - 0 + 4 = 0 + 0 - 0 + 4 = 4
3. Interval [0, 2]:
f(0) = 0 + 6(0)^3 - (0)^2 - 30(0) + 4 = 0 + 6(0) - 0 - 0 + 4 = 0 + 0 - 0 + 4 = 4
f(2) = 2 + 6(2)^3 - (2)^2 - 30(2) + 4 = 2 + 6(8) - 4 - 60 + 4 = 2 + 48 - 4 - 60 + 4 = -10
4. Interval [2, 4]:
f(2) = 2 + 6(2)^3 - (2)^2 - 30(2) + 4 = 2 + 6(8) - 4 - 60 + 4 = 2 + 48 - 4 - 60 + 4 = -10
f(4) = 4 + 6(4)^3 - (4)^2 - 30(4) + 4 = 4 + 6(64) - 16 - 120 + 4 = 4 + 384 - 16 - 120 + 4 = 256
From the calculations above, we can see that the function f(x) changes sign in the intervals [-4, -2] and [2, 4]. Therefore, these intervals contain at least one zero.
1. Interval [-4, -2]:
f(-4) = -4 + 6(-4)^3 - (-4)^2 - 30(-4) + 4 = -4 + 6(-64) - 16 + 120 + 4 = -4 - 384 - 16 + 120 + 4 = -280
f(-2) = -2 + 6(-2)^3 - (-2)^2 - 30(-2) + 4 = -2 + 6(-8) - 4 - 60 + 4 = -2 - 48 - 4 - 60 + 4 = -114
2. Interval [-2, 0]:
f(-2) = -2 + 6(-2)^3 - (-2)^2 - 30(-2) + 4 = -2 + 6(-8) - 4 - 60 + 4 = -2 - 48 - 4 - 60 + 4 = -114
f(0) = 0 + 6(0)^3 - (0)^2 - 30(0) + 4 = 0 + 6(0) - 0 - 0 + 4 = 0 + 0 - 0 + 4 = 4
3. Interval [0, 2]:
f(0) = 0 + 6(0)^3 - (0)^2 - 30(0) + 4 = 0 + 6(0) - 0 - 0 + 4 = 0 + 0 - 0 + 4 = 4
f(2) = 2 + 6(2)^3 - (2)^2 - 30(2) + 4 = 2 + 6(8) - 4 - 60 + 4 = 2 + 48 - 4 - 60 + 4 = -10
4. Interval [2, 4]:
f(2) = 2 + 6(2)^3 - (2)^2 - 30(2) + 4 = 2 + 6(8) - 4 - 60 + 4 = 2 + 48 - 4 - 60 + 4 = -10
f(4) = 4 + 6(4)^3 - (4)^2 - 30(4) + 4 = 4 + 6(64) - 16 - 120 + 4 = 4 + 384 - 16 - 120 + 4 = 256
From the calculations above, we can see that the function f(x) changes sign in the intervals [-4, -2] and [2, 4]. Therefore, these intervals contain at least one zero.

To use the Intermediate Value Theorem to decide which intervals contain at least one zero for the function f(x) = x^4 + 6x^3 − x^2 − 30x + 4, we need to evaluate the function at the endpoints of each interval and determine if the signs of f(x) change.
1) Interval (-3, -2):
Evaluate f(-3) and f(-2) to determine if the signs change:
f(-3) = (-3)^4 + 6(-3)^3 − (-3)^2 − 30(-3) + 4 = 81 - 162 - 9 + 90 + 4 = 4
f(-2) = (-2)^4 + 6(-2)^3 − (-2)^2 − 30(-2) + 4 = 16 - 96 - 4 + 60 + 4 = -14
The sign changes between f(-3) and f(-2) (f(-3) is positive and f(-2) is negative), so the interval (-3, -2) contains at least one zero.
2) Interval (-2, -1):
Evaluate f(-2) and f(-1) to determine if the signs change:
f(-2) = (-2)^4 + 6(-2)^3 − (-2)^2 − 30(-2) + 4 = 16 - 96 - 4 + 60 + 4 = -14
f(-1) = (-1)^4 + 6(-1)^3 − (-1)^2 − 30(-1) + 4 = 1 - 6 - 1 + 30 + 4 = 28
The sign changes between f(-2) and f(-1) (f(-2) is negative and f(-1) is positive), so the interval (-2, -1) contains at least one zero.
3) Interval (0, 1):
Evaluate f(0) and f(1) to determine if the signs change:
f(0) = (0)^4 + 6(0)^3 − (0)^2 − 30(0) + 4 = 0 - 0 - 0 + 0 + 4 = 4
f(1) = (1)^4 + 6(1)^3 − (1)^2 − 30(1) + 4 = 1 + 6 - 1 - 30 + 4 = -20
The sign changes between f(0) and f(1) (f(0) is positive and f(1) is negative), so the interval (0, 1) contains at least one zero.
4) Interval (1, 2):
Evaluate f(1) and f(2) to determine if the signs change:
f(1) = (1)^4 + 6(1)^3 − (1)^2 − 30(1) + 4 = 1 + 6 - 1 - 30 + 4 = -20
f(2) = (2)^4 + 6(2)^3 − (2)^2 − 30(2) + 4 = 16 + 48 - 4 - 60 + 4 = 4
The sign does not change between f(1) and f(2) (both are positive), so the interval (1, 2) may not contain any zeros.
Based on the Intermediate Value Theorem, the intervals that contain at least one zero are (-3, -2), (-2, -1), and (0, 1).
1) Interval (-3, -2):
Evaluate f(-3) and f(-2) to determine if the signs change:
f(-3) = (-3)^4 + 6(-3)^3 − (-3)^2 − 30(-3) + 4 = 81 - 162 - 9 + 90 + 4 = 4
f(-2) = (-2)^4 + 6(-2)^3 − (-2)^2 − 30(-2) + 4 = 16 - 96 - 4 + 60 + 4 = -14
The sign changes between f(-3) and f(-2) (f(-3) is positive and f(-2) is negative), so the interval (-3, -2) contains at least one zero.
2) Interval (-2, -1):
Evaluate f(-2) and f(-1) to determine if the signs change:
f(-2) = (-2)^4 + 6(-2)^3 − (-2)^2 − 30(-2) + 4 = 16 - 96 - 4 + 60 + 4 = -14
f(-1) = (-1)^4 + 6(-1)^3 − (-1)^2 − 30(-1) + 4 = 1 - 6 - 1 + 30 + 4 = 28
The sign changes between f(-2) and f(-1) (f(-2) is negative and f(-1) is positive), so the interval (-2, -1) contains at least one zero.
3) Interval (0, 1):
Evaluate f(0) and f(1) to determine if the signs change:
f(0) = (0)^4 + 6(0)^3 − (0)^2 − 30(0) + 4 = 0 - 0 - 0 + 0 + 4 = 4
f(1) = (1)^4 + 6(1)^3 − (1)^2 − 30(1) + 4 = 1 + 6 - 1 - 30 + 4 = -20
The sign changes between f(0) and f(1) (f(0) is positive and f(1) is negative), so the interval (0, 1) contains at least one zero.
4) Interval (1, 2):
Evaluate f(1) and f(2) to determine if the signs change:
f(1) = (1)^4 + 6(1)^3 − (1)^2 − 30(1) + 4 = 1 + 6 - 1 - 30 + 4 = -20
f(2) = (2)^4 + 6(2)^3 − (2)^2 − 30(2) + 4 = 16 + 48 - 4 - 60 + 4 = 4
The sign does not change between f(1) and f(2) (both are positive), so the interval (1, 2) may not contain any zeros.
Based on the Intermediate Value Theorem, the intervals that contain at least one zero are (-3, -2), (-2, -1), and (0, 1).

I apologize for the confusion. Let's re-evaluate the intervals and find the two remaining answers.
We already determined that the intervals (-3, -2) and (0, 1) contain at least one zero.
Now let's evaluate the remaining intervals:
4) Interval (1, 2):
Evaluate f(1) and f(2) to determine if the signs change:
f(1) = (1)^4 + 6(1)^3 − (1)^2 − 30(1) + 4 = 1 + 6 - 1 - 30 + 4 = -20
f(2) = (2)^4 + 6(2)^3 − (2)^2 − 30(2) + 4 = 16 + 48 - 4 - 60 + 4 = 4
There is a sign change between f(1) and f(2) (f(1) is negative and f(2) is positive), so the interval (1, 2) contains at least one zero.
5) Interval (-4, -3):
Evaluate f(-4) and f(-3) to determine if the signs change:
f(-4) = (-4)^4 + 6(-4)^3 − (-4)^2 − 30(-4) + 4 = 256 - 384 - 16 + 120 + 4 = -20
f(-3) = (-3)^4 + 6(-3)^3 − (-3)^2 − 30(-3) + 4 = 81 - 162 - 9 + 90 + 4 = 4
There is a sign change between f(-4) and f(-3) (f(-4) is negative and f(-3) is positive), so the interval (-4, -3) contains at least one zero.
Based on the Intermediate Value Theorem, the intervals that contain at least one zero are:
± (-4, -3)
± (-3, -2)
± (0, 1)
± (1, 2)
So, the full answer is: ± (-4, -3), ± (-3, -2), ± (0, 1), ± (1, 2).
We already determined that the intervals (-3, -2) and (0, 1) contain at least one zero.

f(1) = (1)^4 + 6(1)^3 − (1)^2 − 30(1) + 4 = 1 + 6 - 1 - 30 + 4 = -20
f(2) = (2)^4 + 6(2)^3 − (2)^2 − 30(2) + 4 = 16 + 48 - 4 - 60 + 4 = 4
There is a sign change between f(1) and f(2) (f(1) is negative and f(2) is positive), so the interval (1, 2) contains at least one zero.
5) Interval (-4, -3):
Evaluate f(-4) and f(-3) to determine if the signs change:
f(-4) = (-4)^4 + 6(-4)^3 − (-4)^2 − 30(-4) + 4 = 256 - 384 - 16 + 120 + 4 = -20
f(-3) = (-3)^4 + 6(-3)^3 − (-3)^2 − 30(-3) + 4 = 81 - 162 - 9 + 90 + 4 = 4

To solve the rational equation (5/x) + (8/(x+3)) = 7, we will first multiply through by the common denominator, which is x(x+3):
x(x+3) * (5/x) + x(x+3) * (8/(x+3)) = x(x+3) * 7
This simplifies to:
5(x+3) + 8x = 7x(x+3)
Distribute and combine like terms:
5x + 15 + 8x = 7x^2 + 21x
Combine like terms again:
13x + 15 = 7x² + 21x
Rearrange the terms to form a quadratic equation:
7x² + 8x + 15 = 0
Now we can solve this quadratic equation by factoring, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula. However, upon factoring or using the quadratic formula, we find no real solutions for x.
Hence, the equation 5/x + 8/(x+3) = 7 has no real solutions and no extraneous solutions.
x(x+3) * (5/x) + x(x+3) * (8/(x+3)) = x(x+3) * 7
