Limits and Continuity
Which of the following functions satisfies the conditions of the IVT?
f(x) = e^x on the interval [−∞, ∞]
f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 2 on the interval [0, 3]
f(x) = 1/x on the interval [1, 5]
f(x) = \sin(x) on the interval [0, \pi]
What condition must NOT necessarily hold true for applying IVT to ensure there's some x-value where h(x)=n between two given points () and ()?
h must be defined from [].
must exist everywhere between and .
n lies between h() and h().
h must be continuous from [].
Assuming that a polynomial function changes from positive to negative as increases through zero, what can be concluded using the Intermediate Value Theorem?
is positive for all values of near zero.
is less than zero for all values of near zero.
has at least one root in the interval containing zero.
The function reaches its maximum value at .
Suppose we know that a continuous function passes through points and . What does IVT guarantee about this function?
It has at least one root in .

Its maximum value occurs at or .
It only intersects with x-axis once between and .
Which of the following functions is guaranteed to have a root (a value of x where ) based on the IVT?

Suppose that for a continuous function g on [p, q], we know . According to IVT, what can be inferred when g has an output of m where ?
No value c satisfies within (p,q).
There exists exactly one c in (p,q) such that .
For all x in (p,q), .
There is at least one c in (p,q) such that .
What conclusion can be drawn from knowing that function is continuous on and while ?
There exists exactly one number in such that .
Every number in the interval is a solution to the equation .
There exists at least one number in such that .
There is no value that satisfies within the interval .
Suppose that is continuous on and ; why does this ensure there's at least one zero for on ?
Because implies a change of sign, so by IVT there's some where between and .
Because if , it indicates multiple zeros exist within .
Because it suggests an increasing or decreasing behavior leading to zero somewhere between and without applying IVT.
Because it means both which directly provides two zeros within .
