Problem

A differentiable function gg is defined for all real numbers with g(1)=−2g(1)=-2 and g(4)=5g(4)=5. a. Explain why there must be at least one number cc in the open interval (1,4)(1,4) such that g(c)=0g(c)=0. Provide a clear logical argument that relies on the given information. b. Determine whether there must also exist a number kk in (1,4)(1,4) such that g(k)=2g(k)=2. Justify your answer rigorously, citing any necessary properties of the function.
