Let f1 be a continuous function with different signs at a,b, with a < b and let {pn}∞ n=1 be bisection method’s sequence of approximations on f1 using starting interval [a,b]. Let f2 be a continuous function with different signs at a,b, with a < b and let {qn}∞ n=1 be bisection method’s sequence of approximations on f2 using starting interval [a,b].
(a) Prove (perhaps by induction) if pk = qk, for some k, then pi = qi for all i < k.

Prove the IVT theorem Prove: If f is continuous on [a,b] and f(a),f(b) have different signs then there is an r ∈ (a,b) such that f(r) = 0. Using the claims: f is continuous on [a,b] there exists a left sequence (a_n) that is increasing and bounded and converges to r, and left decreasing sequence and bounded (b_n)=r. limf(a_n)= r= limf(b_n), and f(r)=0.
