asked 05/12/23explain please.
The function f is continuous where f(−5) = −1 and f(5) = 6, and g is a function defined by g(x) = 1 − (f(x))2. Is there a value c for −5 ≤ c ≤ 5 such that g(c) = 1? Why, or why not?

Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
g(x) = 1-(f(x))^2, f(5) =6
g(f(5)) = g(6) = 1-36 = -35
f(-5) = -1
g(f(-5) = g(-1) = 1-1 = 0
-1 < g(c) < -35, which does not include any positive value such as +1
g(c) = (-35 -0)/(5- -5) = -3.5= 1-c^2
c^2=4.5
c=sqr4.5

Did you mean f(x)*2 or f(x) squared?05/12/23
