Unit 5: Intermediate value theorem
people.math.harvard.edu5.4. The following is an application of the intermediate value theorem and also provides a constructive proof of the Bolzano extremal value theorem which we will see later. Fermat’s maximum theorem If fis continuous and has f(a) = f(b) = f(a+ h), then fhas either a local maximum or local minimum inside the open interval (a;b). 5.5.

support.ebsco.comIntermediate Value Theorem The Intermediate Value Theorem applies to continuous functions on an interval ab,. If d is any value between f(a) and f(b), then there must be at least one number c between a and b such that f(c) = d. Example Consider f x e() x = − 2, which is continuous everywhere. We have fe(0) = − =−0 21, and f(1) =

Lecture 16 :The Mean Value Theorem Rolle’s Theorem
www3.nd.eduis continuous everywhere and the Intermediate Value Theorem guarantees that there is a number c with 1 < c < 1 for which f(c) = 0 (in other words c is a root of the equation x3 + 3x+ 1 = 0). We can use Rolle’s Theorem to show that there is only one real root of this equation. Proof by Contradiction Assume Statement X is true.
Brouwer Fixed-Point Theorem
math.stmarys-ca.eduFigure 6: A pictoral representation of the Intermediate Value Theorem. When dealing with one dimension, any closed and convex subset of R is homeomorphic to [0;1]. We can then show that any one-dimensional case for the Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem is equivalent to the case in [0;1], and thus, the Theorem applies there. 6

The next day, the hiker returns on the same trail leaving at 6am in the morning and nishing at 6pm. Show that there is some place on the trail that the hiker visited at the same time of day both coming and going. Solution.
