\begin{frame} \frametitle{Continuity: Intermediate Value Theorem} \begin{exampleblock}{} Show that there is a root of the equation \begin{talign} 4x^3 - 6x^2 + 3x - 2 = 0 \end{talign} between $1$ and $2$. \pause\medskip We are looking for number $c$ such that $f(c) = 0$ and $1 < c < 2$. \pause\medskip We have:\\ \begin{itemize} \pause \item the function is continuous on the interval since it is a polynomial \pause \item $f(1) = 4 - 6 + 3 - 2 = -1$ \pause \item $f(2) = 4\cdot 8 - 6\cdot 4 + 3\cdot 2 - 2 = 12$ \end{itemize} \pause Moreover $-1 < 0 < 12$. \pause Thus we can apply the Intermediate Value Theorem for the interval $[1,2]$ and $N = 0$. \pause\medskip Hence there exists $c$ in $(1,2)$ such that $f(c) = 0$. \end{exampleblock} \end{frame}
