Intermediate Value Theorem
The Intermediate Value Theorem stands as a cornerstone in the realm of calculus, offering a powerful tool for analyzing the behavior of continuous functions. Rooted in the fundamental concept of continuity, this theorem asserts that for any function f(x) that is continuous on a closed interval [a, b], where f(a) and f(b) are of opposite signs, there exists at least one value c within the interval (a, b) where f(c) equals zero. In essence, the Intermediate Value Theorem underscores the notion that continuous functions take on all intermediate values between any two points within a specified interval, providing a foundational principle in mathematical analysis.
