Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that there is a root of the given equation in the specified interval. ex = 3 − 2x, (0
, 1) The equation ex = 3 − 2x is equivalent to the equation f(x) = ex − 3 + 2x = 0. f(x) is continuous on the interval [0, 1], f(0) = _____, and f(1) = _____. Since f(0) < 0 < f(1) , there is a number c in (0, 1) such that f(c) = 0 by the Intermediate Value Theorem. Thus, there is a root of the equation ex = 3 − 2x, in the interval (0, 1)
According to intermediate value theorem, if a function is continuous on an interval , and if is any number between and , then there exists a value, , where , such that
