To write: A convincing argument that the Location Principle works. Include a labeled graph.
Answer to Problem 1CFU
The graph
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Location Principle
Calculation:
The “Location Principal” is really a logic statement. If you choose 1 value, say x = 1and plug it in
Therefore the zero must be somewhere between them.
This is of course, assuming the function is continuous and defined at all points where you’re testing.
Therefore, the location principle correctly shows that somewhere between x = 1 and x = 2 the graph = 0.
Zero occurs at x = 1.414
