Intermediate Value Theorem Application
Which of the following scenarios best illustrates the Intermediate Value Theorem?
A
If a jet plane rises to an altitude of 34,000 feet after takeoff, its intermediate value is 17,000 feet.
B
A jet plane begins its flight at an altitude of 0 feet and levels off at 34,000 feet. Therefore, it must have reached an altitude of 17,000 feet exactly halfway through the flight.
C
A jet plane begins its flight at an altitude of 0 feet and levels off at 34,000 feet. Therefore, it must have reached an altitude of 17,000 feet at some point during the flight.
D
If a jet plane cruises at a constant altitude of 34,000 feet, its intermediate value is 34,000 feet.
