  • Introduction
    ::导言

    In elementary algebra courses, graphs are often constructed by plotting points and then connecting the points. In precalculus, the points are used to fine-tune a graph. To do this , the 1st step is to classify a function into a family, and choose the appropriate characteristics of that family to build a graph.  Interestingly , for many graphs, connecting the points would not be the best choice. To see why, a ssume that a graph needs to be constructed for a function,  f ( x ) . Three points are plotted. The following graphs are possibilities:

     

    This situation demonstrates  the need to know more about the function's characteristics to be able to make this decision. It also requires some theorems to know under which conditions the mathematician can "connect the dots" to complete the sketch of a graph. 
    ::这种情况表明需要更多地了解函数的特性才能作出这一决定。 还需要一些理论家知道数学家在何种条件下可以“ 连接点” 完成图表的草图。

    Intermediate Value Theorem 
    ::中间值定理

    The provides the conditions to sketch a continuous graph between the plotted points. It requires that a function be continuous. R ecall that an informal definition of continuous is that a function is continuous over a certain interval if it has no breaks, jumps, asymptotes, or holes in that interval. Polynomial functions are continuous for all real x . Rational functions are often not continuous over the set of real numbers because they do have the discontinuities, asymptotes, or holes in the graph. 
    ::提供在绘图点之间绘制连续图表的条件。 它要求函数是连续的。 提醒注意, 一个连续的非正规定义是,如果该连续的函数没有间断、 跳跃、 空洞或洞洞, 则该连续的间隔是连续的 。 对于所有真实的 x 来说, 多功能是连续的 。 逻辑函数通常不是连续的, 因为它们在图形中存在不连续性、 空洞或洞洞 。

    Knowing that a  function is continuous over some interval [ a , b ]   allows a mathematician to  use the Intermediate Value Theorem.
    ::了解某函数在一定间隔[a,b]内具有连续性,可使数学家使用中间值理论。

        Intermediate Value Theorem
    ::中间值定理

    If f ( x ) is continuous on some interval [ a , b ] , and n is between f ( a ) and f ( b ) , then there is some c [ a , b ] such that f ( c ) = n .

    The following graphs highlight how the Intermediate Value Theorem works. Consider the graph of the function f ( x ) = 1 4 ( x 3 5 x 2 2 9 x )  on the interval [-3, -1]:
    ::以下图表突出显示中间值定理是如何工作的。 考虑间隔[ 3 - 1] 的函数 f( x) = 14( x3 - 5x22 - 9x) 的图形 :

    f ( 3 ) = 5.625 and f ( 1 ) = 1.375 . Since  f ( x )  is a polynomial, thus continuous for all real values of  x , then a continuous curve can be drawn from ( 3 , 5.625 )  to  ( 1 , 1.375 ) .
    ::f(-3) 5.625和f(-1)=1.375。f(x)是多元的,因此对x的所有实际值都是连续的,因此,可以从(-3)至(-1)至(-1)至(-1)至(1)至(3)至(3)至(5)至(3)至(3)至(3)至(3)至(3)至(3)至(3)至(1)至(3)至(3)至)。

    This theorem can be used to estimate the coordinates of points on the graph. For example, any  y -value between -5.625 and 1.375, say  y = 2 , corresponds to some x value on the interval [-3, -1].
    ::此定理可用于估算图中点的坐标。 例如, y 值在 -5. 625 和 1. 375 之间的任何 Y 值, 例如 y = 2, 与间距[ 3 - 1] 上的一些 x - 值相对应 。

    The Bounded Roots  Theorem
    ::断根定理

    The Bounded Roots  Theorem is a corollary to the Intermediate Value Theorem:
    ::深根定理是中间值定理的必然结果:

      Bounded Roots  Theorem
    ::深根定理

    If f is continuous on [ a , b ] and there is a sign change between f ( a ) and f ( b ) (that is, f ( a ) is positive and f ( b ) is negative, or vice versa), then there is a c ( a , b ) , such that f ( c ) = 0 .

    The Bounded Roots Theorem is a corollary to the Intermediate Value Theorem because it is simply a special case where n = 0 .
    ::深根定理是中间值定理的必然结果,因为它只是n=0的特殊案例。

    In the previous example, f ( x ) = 1 4 ( x 3 5 x 2 2 9 x ) , since  f ( 3 ) < 0 and f ( 1 ) > 0 ,   and  f ( x )  is continuous on  [ 3 , 1 ] , then f  has a root on the given interval.  The graph estimates the root to be at  x = 2 .
    ::在上个例子f(x)=14(x3-5x22-9x)中,由于 f(-3) <0和 f(-1)>0和 f(x)>0和 f(x)是连续的[-3)-1], f(x)在给定间隔上有一个根。图中估计根在 x%2 。

    Approximate Zeros of Polynomial Functions
    ::近乎零多元函数

    T he Intermediate Value Theorem is a simple but extremely powerful theorem. One of the most critical applications of the theorem is illustrated here with bounded roots:
    ::中间值定理是一个简单但极强的定理。

    Given a continuous function g ( x ) ,
    ::给定连续函数 g( x) ,

    1. Find two points such that g ( a ) < 0 and g ( b ) > 0 . Once these two points are found, iterate, using the steps below to home in on the root of g ( x ) on the interval [ a , b ] . (Note, we will assume g ( b ) > g ( a ) ; the same algorithm works with minor adjustments if the opposite is true.)
      ::查找两个点, 如 g(a) < 0 和 g(b) > 0 。 一旦发现这两个点, 就会在 [a, b] 间距上使用 g(x) 根根部的下到家的步数。 (注意, 我们将假设 g(b) > g(a) ; 如果相反, 同样的算法会稍作调整 。)
    2. Evaluate g ( a + b 2 ) .
      1. If g ( a + b 2 ) = 0 , then the root is x = a + b 2 .
        ::如果 g( a+b2) =0, 那么根就是 x=a+b2 。
      2. If g ( a + b 2 ) < 0 , replace a with a + b 2 ,  and repeat steps 1-2 using [ a + b 2 , b ] .
        ::如果 g(a+b2) < 0, 将 a 替换为 a+b2, 并使用 [a+b2, b] 重复步骤1-2。
      3. If g ( a + b 2 ) > 0 , replace b with a + b 2 ,  and repeat steps 1-2 using [ a , a + b 2 ] .
        ::如果 g(a+b2) >0, b 替换为 a+b2, 并使用 [a, a+b2] 重复步骤1-2。

      ::如果 g(a+b2) =0,则根为 x=a+b2=0,如果 g(a+b2) < 0,则根为 x=a+b2 < 0, 替换为 a+b2, 并使用 [a+b2, b] 重复步骤1-2。如果 g(a+b2) >0, 则用 a+b2 替换 bb2, 并使用 [a, a+b2] 重复步骤1-2。

    This algorithm will not usually find the exact root of g ( x ) , but the root found will be within a tolerable error range. For example, if  this process is repeated enough times so that    | a b | < 0.01 ,  the root of g ( x )  is correct within 0.005.
    ::此算法通常不会找到 g( x) 的确切根, 但所找到的根将位于可容忍的错误范围之内。 例如, 如果此进程重复足够多次, 使 {a- b\\\\\ 0.01} g( x) 根在 0.005 内正确 。

    Since f ( x ) is a polynomial, it is continuous on [1, 2] . f ( 1 ) = 2 and f ( 2 ) = 14 . Since  n = 0 [ 14 , 2 ] , there must exist some point c ( 1 , 2 ) such that f ( c ) = 0  by the Intermediate Value Theorem or the Bounded Roots Theorem. Therefore,  f ( x ) has a root in (1, 2).

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Show the 1st five iterations of finding the root of h ( x ) = x 2 x 1 using the starting values a = 0 and b = 2 .
    ::使用起始值 a=0 和 b=2 显示查找 h(x) =x2 - x- 1 根的首五个迭代

    Solution:
    ::解决方案 :

    Step 1: Since h ( x )  is continuous, verify that there is a root between x = 0 and x = 2 . h ( 0 ) = 1 and h ( 2 ) = 1 , so by the Bounded Roots  Theorem there is a root in the interval [0, 2]. Check h ( 0 + 2 2 ) = h ( 1 ) = 1 . Since 1 < 0 ,  the root is between x = 1 and x = 2 .  Continue with the new interval, [1, 2].
    ::步骤 1: 由于 h( x) 是连续的, 校验 x=0 和 x=2. h( 0) @% 1 和 h(2)=1 之间有根, 因此通过有界根的定理, 在间隔 [ 0, 2] 中有一个根 。 check h( 0+22)=h(1)\\\\\\ 1. 由于~ 1 < 0, 根在 x=1 和 x=2 之间, 根在 x=1 和 x=2 之间 。 继续使用新间隔, [ 1, 2] 。

    Step 2: Now the interval is [1, 2]. h ( 1 + 2 2 ) = h ( 1.5 ) = 0.25 . Since 0.25 < 0 , choose the interval [1.5, 2].
    ::步数 2: 现在的间隔是 [1、2]. h(1+22)=h(1.5) @ @%0. 25。 从- 0. 25 < 0, 请选择间隔 [1.5、 2] 。

    Step 3:   h ( 1.5 + 2 2 ) = h ( 1.75 ) 0.31 . Since 0.31 > 0 , choose  the interval [1.5, 1.75].
    ::第3步:h(1.5+22)=h(1.75)=0.31。自0.31[0.31],请选择间隔[1.5、1.75]。

    Step 4:  h ( 1.5 + 1.75 2 ) = h ( 1.625 ) 0.02 . Since 0.02 > 0 , the root is between 1.5 and 1.625.
    ::第4步:h(1.5+1.752)=h(1.625)=_0.002。自0.02>0以来,根在1.5至1.625之间。

    Step 5:  h ( 1.5 + 1.625 2 ) = h ( 1.5620 ) 0.12 . Since 0.12 < 0 , we know the root is between 1.5620 and 1.625.
    ::步骤5:h(1.5+1.6252)=h(1.5620)=0.12。从-0.12 < 0开始,我们知道根在1.5620到1.625之间。

    This example shows that after five iterations, the possible location of the root, the midpoint of the interval, is accurate within approximately 0.03 units. 
    ::这个例子显示,在五个迭代之后,根的可能位置,即间距的中点,在大约0.03个单位内准确无误。
