I discuss and solve an non-standard example where the intermediate value theorem is applied to ensure the function has at least one zero. Interestingly, the limiting behavior is known about the function, but the function itself is unknown.

  • why would x0 be negative????

  • @teresachy I never claimed that x_0 could be negative. Our f is only defined on t e interval [0,infinty0, so I'm not sure why you're asking about the sign of x_0.

  • could lim t(x) = + instead of negitive?

  • @teresachy Don't worry too much - it's a difiicult problem.
