    Calculus
    Section 2.5

    How about 60 (a & b)?

    60.
    prove that ln(x)=3-2x at least one real solution in interval of length 0.01=>
    the interval [x, x+0.01]

    using calculator, we get:
    x ≈ 1.34996

    From the graph we can see that the root lies between 1.34 and 1.35=>[1.34 , 1.35] which is an interval of length 0.01

    I see that it is easier to show the prove via graphing on the xy-plane. We end our Sunday here. I will keep my word in terms of solving 4 Intermediate Value Theorem problems when time allows (weather permitting). It is like an oven in NYC. By the way, I AM NOT A FAN OF THE SUMMER HEAT.
