If f(x) is continuous in the interval [-2, 1], ƒ(−2) = −4, and f(1) = -1, can we use the Intermediate Value Theorem to conclude that f(c) = 0 where -2 < c < 1? Select the correct answer below: Yes, the Intermediate Value Theorem guarantees that f(c) = 0. No, the Intermediate Value Theorem does not guarantee this conclusion, but f(c) = 0 could be true and cannot be ruled out.
