iii Let f(x) be any continuous function and f(c) > 0 for some c. Find an interval (a, b) containing c such that f(x) > 0 for all z € (a, b). iv Give an example of a function f(x) such that f(c) > 0 and f(x) < 0 for all ar in any interval containing c. Hint: See an identical problem in the notes and mimic the proof. (This says that the continuity is essential to the property in iii)
