Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that there is a root of the given equation in the specified interval. Ex = 6 − 5x, (0, 1) The equation ex = 6 − 5x is equivalent to the equation f(x) = ex − 6 + 5x = 0. F(x) is continuous on the interval [0

Answer:

some part of your question is incomplete

attached below is the complete question

Answer :

F(0) = -5 < 0

F(1) = e - 1 > 0

since the functions : f(0) and f(1) have opposite signs then there is a 'c' whereby F(c) = 0 ( intermediate value theorem fulfilled )

Hence there is a root in the given equation :
e^x = 6 - 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

using Intermediate value Theorem

If F(x) is continuous and f(a) and f(b) have opposite signs then there will be a'c'E (a,b) whereby F(c) = 0

given equation :
e^x = 6 - 5x on (0,1)

and F(x) =
e^x - 6 + 5x = 0

This shows that the F(x) is continuous on (0,1)

F(0) =
e^0 - 6 + 5(0) = -5 which is < 0

F(1) =
e^1 -6 + 5(1) = e -1 > 0 and e = 2.7182

since the functions : f(0) and f(1) have opposite signs then there is a 'c' whereby F(c) = 0 ( intermediate value theorem fulfilled )

Hence there is a root in the given equation :
e^x = 6 - 5x

Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that there is a root of the given equation-example-1
