Proof

(a) Let ƒ1(x) and ƒ2(x) be continuous on the closed interval [a, b]. If ƒ1(a) < ƒ2(a) and ƒ1(b) > ƒ2(b), prove that there exists c between a and b such that ƒ1(c) = ƒ2(c).

(b) Show that there exists c in [0, π/2] such that cos x = x. Use a graphing utility to approximate c to three decimal places.
