 [Ex.1] If the function f is continuous everywhere, [Ex.3] The function is continuous on the interval
f(2)=1 and f(6) = 7, is there an x value c between (2,6) [–3,9], with f (-3) = 0 and f (9) = -12 . Which of the
o
such that f(c ) = 5? Justify your reasoning. following would be a correct statement concerning the
existence of a value c by the Intermediate Value

since fix is continuous on 22,6

Theorem for the function .

Since f(x) is continuous on [ a , b] and d is between
f(a) and f(b), then by the Intermediate Value
Theorem there exists a number c between (a,b)
such that f(c)=d

IVT Script
Since f(x) is cts on [a,b] and d ∈ f(a) and f(b), then by IVT
∃ a number c ∈ (a,b) s.t. f(c)=d

[Ex. 5] Given g(t) is continuous on the interval [0,5], and *** On the AP Exam : Look for key words: "Does there
g(0)=-1 and g(5)=12. Is there a value t between 0 and 5 exist...", "Is there a time t..." “Is there a value r” ***
such that g(t) is equal to 11? Justify your reasoning.

[Ex.7] The functions f and g are differentiable (and
therefore continuous)* for all real numbers, and g is
since 9 s strictly increasing. The table below gives the values of
