Question

Suppose that a function $ f $ is continuous on $ [0, 1] $ except at 0.25 and that $ f(0) = 1 $ and $ f(1) = 3 $. Let $ N = 2 $. Sketch two possible graphs of $ f $, one showing that $ f $ might not satisfy the conclusion of the Intermediate Value Theorem and one showing that $ f $ might still satisfy the conclusion of the Intermediate Value Theorem (even though it doesn't satisfy the hypothesis.)

Step 1

The IVT states that if a function $ f $ is continuous on a closed interval $ [a, b] $, then for any number $ N $ between $ f(a) $ and $ f(b) $, there exists a number $ c $ in $ [a, b] $ such that $ f(c) = N $. Show more…
