Let gg be a real-valued function with g(1)=−5g(1)=-5 and g(4)=3g(4)=3. The function is discontinuous at exactly one point in the interval (1,4)(1,4). Which statement best describes what can be concluded about the equation g(x)=0g(x)=0 on (1,4)(1,4)? a) A solution is guaranteed because the values at x=1x=1 and x=4x=4 have opposite signs. b) A solution is not guaranteed because the function is not continuous on the entire interval. c) No solution exists because the function is discontinuous at a point inside the interval. d) At least two solutions exist because the function changes sign and has a discontinuity.
