###### Question

The extreme value theorem is a guarantee of a value, but does not provide a recipe to find it. For the function $f(x) = \cos(x)$ on $I=[\pi, 3\pi/2]$ find a value $c$ satisfying the theorem for an absolute maximum.

###### Question
|

|
||||
|
||||
In an example, we used the fact that if $0 < c < x$, for some $c$ given by the mean value theorem and $f(x)$ goes to $0$ as $x$ goes to zero then $f(c)$ will also go to zero. Suppose we say that $c=g(x)$ for some function $c$.

In an example, we used the fact that if $0 < c < x$, for some $c$ given by the mean value theorem and $f(x)$ goes to $0$ as $x$ goes to zero then $f(c)$ will also go to zero. As $c$ depends on $x$, suppose we write $c=g(x)$ for some function $g$.

|

Why is it known that $g(x)$ goes to $0$ as $x$ goes to zero (from the right)?
