    Introduction to the Intermediate value theorem. If f is a continuous function over [a,b], then it takes on every value between f(a) and f(b) over that interval.

      well continuity has a more rigorous definition than just "don't lift your pen" and it's pretty interesting to try to prove this theorem using the f(x)=f(x+h) for small h.

    • @grafficconcepts9029

      That would be impossible as the answer to 1+1 is not 2 it's a window.

    • @218Flows
      @218Flows Před 7 lety +28

      If you factor out a 1 you get: 1(1+1) = 1(2) and then divide 2 you get: 1(1+1)/2 =1 and then: 2/2 = 1

    I would really like someone to answer this question
    If there is a function y = 7-(x-5)^2 and it has a gap discontinuity at x = 4
    Then is the function continuous according to the intermediate value theorem between the interval 1 to 7??

    Should it be differntiable or is it enough to be continuous ?

  • @ABobroff
    @ABobroff Před 5 lety

    at 2:43, you say the function, which I assume includes a vertical asymptote, is not continuous, however the definition of continuity only states that WITHIN THE DOMAIN, limx-->a = f(a), and the vertical asymptote is excluded from the domain, therefore the function still satisfies the definition of continuity.

    • @mochimochi6357
      @mochimochi6357 Před 5 lety +3

      Limit x+ is not equal to Limit x- therefore it’s not a continuous function

  • @marcushendriksen8415
    @marcushendriksen8415 Před 5 lety

    Only about 3 minutes in, but could not this theorem be generalised to include functions that are discontinuous at some c within some interval? Assuming that the limit near or at c exists, of course.

  • @prabinshrestha7163

    I would really like someone to answer this question
    If there is a function y = 7-(x-5)^2 and it has a gap discontinuity at x = 4
    Then is the function continuous according to the intermediate value theorem between the interval 1 to 7??
    or
    For function
    y = (((x-5)^2)*((x-4)/(x-4)))
    Is the function continuous according to the intermediate value theorem between the interval 1 to 7??

    • @zurviver_3747
      @zurviver_3747 Před 6 lety

      the first function is discountinous at x=4 because f(4) does not exist. you could fix this by adding x=4, y= limit, and then use the theorem, or you could limit the therorum to [1,4) U (4,7]

    • @john66rocky
      @john66rocky Před 6 lety +5

      The Intermediate Value Theorem does not conclude that ANY function is continuous. Rather, the theorem only applies if two conditions are met, and one of those is that the function is continuous on a given interval. The function you provided is not continuous on the interval 1 to 7 and so the IVT does not apply to this function on this particular interval.
      One thing that my students struggle with is that, even if the theorem does not apply on a given interval, the conclusion can still be true. In your example, the input 1 produces an output of -9 and the input 7 produces an output of 3. If we choose an output between -9 and 3, like, say y = 0, then we can find an input (about x = 2.534) which we might call "c" so that y(c) = 0. The existence of that number is not, however, something that we can conclude by applying the IVT because, as stated previously, the IVT does not apply to this function on the interval from x = 1 to x = 7 because of the discontinuity at x = 4.
      The question, "Is this function continuous according to the intermediate value theorem?" may reflect a misunderstanding of what the theorem does. All the IVT does is guarantee the existence of an input value (meeting certain requirements) on a given interval on which the continuity of a particular function is already known.
      I hope you found this helpful.

    So... stating the obvious property of continuous functions (and/or function intervals); they contain all values within their domain. Aside from its use in mathematical proofs, I don't see the use of such a tautological statement. If someone were to say "The sky is blue.", it would not help me determine why clouds produce rain.

      Anthony Acosta I'm still around. The self-evident nature of the theorems makes it seem silly that they are given so much more attention than operations, but there really isn't a point to arguing when I agree that they're fundamental.

      The intermediate value theorem is actually derived from Balzano's theorem. You don't use it much unless you are taking a class in Analysis.
