**Prove \( f(x) \) has a zero (i.e., a point where \( f(p) = 0 \)) on each interval. You can assert that the functions are continuous on the relevant intervals (i.e., a rigorous proof that \( f(x) \) is continuous on the given interval is not needed).**

\[ f(x) = 2e^{-x} (\cos(2x)); \text{ on } \left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right] \]

---

### Explanation:

The function \( f(x) = 2e^{-x} (\cos(2x)) \) is defined on the interval \([0, \frac{\pi}{2}]\). The goal is to demonstrate that a zero exists within this interval, meaning there exists a point \( p \) within \([0, \frac{\pi}{2}]\) where \( f(p) = 0 \). Continuity within the interval can be assumed without a detailed proof due to the nature of exponential and trigonometric functions composing \( f(x) \).
