Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that there is a root of the given equation in the specified interval.
ex = 7 - 6x, (0, 1)
and f(1) =
. Since
The equation e* = 7 - 6x is equivalent to the equation f(x) = e* − 7 + 6x = 0. f(x) is continuous on the interval [0, 1], f(0)
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 e× = 7 − 6x, in the interval (0, 1).
