In the following exercises, use the Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT). 151. A particle moving along a line has at each time t a position function s(t), which is continuous. Assume s (2) = 5 and s (5) = 2. Another particle moves such that its position is given by h ( t ) = s ( t ) − t . Explain why there must be a value c for 2 < c < 5 such that h(c) = 0.
