Example Question #7 : Apply Intermediate Value Theorem
Can Intermediate Value Theorem be applied to the function 
No, because
Yes, because the function 
No, because the function is not continuous
Yes, because the function crosses the 
No, because
The required conditions for Intermediate Value Theorem include the function must be continuous and 
Example Question #8 : Apply Intermediate Value Theorem
What can be concluded by using Intermediate Value Theorem for the function 
There is a root for this polynomial located between 
The requirements for Intermediate Value Theorem are not met
There are two roots on this polynomial located between 
There is a root for this polynomial at
There is a root for this polynomial located between
his function is continuous (as it is a polynomial) and 
Example Question #9 : Apply Intermediate Value Theorem
Let 
Yes, as shown by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
No, Intermediate Value Theorem cannot determine the exact value of
No, no number c such that 
Yes, as shown by Intermediate Value Theorem
Yes, as shown by Intermediate Value Theorem
First, determine the values of the function at the bounds. This will allow the correct implementation of the Intermediate Value Theorem.
Because the problem asks to analyze the interval 
Example Question #10 : Apply Intermediate Value Theorem
Assume 
If 
If 
This is true because for continuous functions, Intermediate Value Theorem states that a change in sign (ex: from positive to negative) of the function within an interval suggests a root (where the function crosses the
