In short: Explore a practical application of the Intermediate Value Theorem through a calculus problem. This video demonstrates how continuity allows us to predict the existence of certain function values.

Using a continuous function where f(-2)=3 and f(1)=6, instructor Bill Scott illustrates what the Intermediate Value Theorem guarantees. The lesson provides a clear example of how existence theorems function within the AP Calculus AB curriculum.
