Using the Intermediate Value Theorem In some situations, we may know two points on a graph but not the zeros. If those two points are on opposite sides of the x-axis, we can confirm that there is a zero between them. Consider a polynomial function f whose graph is smooth and continuous. The Intermediate Value Theorem states that for two numbers a and b in the domain of f, if a < b then the function f takes on every value between f (a) and f (b). (While the theorem is intuitive, the and f (a) β f (b), 538 Chapter 5 Polynomial and Rational Functions proof is actually quite complicated and requires higher mathematics.) We can apply this theorem to a special case that is useful in graphing polynomial functions. If a point on the graph of a continuous function f at x = a lies above the x- axis and another point at x = b lies below the x- axis, there must exist a third point between x = a and x = b where the graph crosses the x- axis. Call this point β β . This means that we are assured there is a solution c where f (c) = 0. βc, f (c)β In other words, the Intermediate Value Theorem tells us that when a polynomial function changes from a negative value to a positive value, the function must cross the x- axis. Figure 5.48 shows that there is a zero between a and b. Figure 5.48 Using the Intermediate Value Theorem to show there exists a zero. Intermediate Value Theorem Let f be a polynomial function.
