What is true for the differentiable function?
For the differentiable function f(x) on the interval [1, 3]
f(1) = -2, f(2) = 4, f(3) = -2
Which of the following must be true?
I) There must be at least one point on the interval where f'(x) is zero
II) There must be at least two points on the interval where f'(x) is zero
III) There must be at least two points on the interval where f(x) is zero

Statements
Explanation:
Proof of
This means that
Proof of
The function is differentiable in
The same reasoning can be repeated for interval
This concludes that there are at least 2 zeros in the interval
