The Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT) is a fundamental concept in calculus, asserting that for any continuous function on a closed interval, there exists a point where the function takes on any intermediate value. This theorem is crucial for proving the existence of roots and is instrumental in the proofs of other calculus theorems. Examples and non-graphical applications of the IVT demonstrate its practicality in confirming solutions to equations without visual aids.
