Question

what is intermediate value theorem

Answer 1

It states that if a function on [a,b] is continuous then for a value p if f(a) < p < f(b) then there is an x in [a,b] such that f(x) = p

Answer 2

x^5-x^3+3x-5=0. (1,2)
How do you solve this ?

Answer 3

Newton–Raphson method would probably work.

Answer 4

the question says that I should use intermediate value theorem

Answer 5

Are you trying to show that a solution exists or are you trying to find a solution

Answer 6

it says use that tjepre, tp show that there is a root of the equation in the given interval

Answer 7

If f(x) is your function. If f(a) is different in sign than f(b) then there must b a c in (a,b) such that f(c)=0

Answer 8

Ok,

Answer 9

is that answer or dentition o
