f is not continuous at 1 because $f\left(1\right)=2\ne 3=\underset{x\to 1}{\text{lim}}f\left(x\right).$

$f\left(0\right)=1>0,f\left(1\right)=\mathrm{-2}<0;f\left(x\right)$ is continuous over $\left[0,1\right].$ It must have a zero on this interval.

Let $\epsilon >0;$ choose $\delta =\frac{\epsilon }{3};$ assume $0<\left|x-2\right|<\delta .$

Thus, $\left|\left(3x-2\right)-4\right|=\left|3x-6\right|=\left|3\right|·\left|x-2\right|<3·\delta =3·\left(\epsilon \text{/}3\right)=\epsilon .$

Therefore, $\underset{x\to 2}{\text{lim}}3x-2=4.$

Choose $\delta =\text{min}\left\{9-{\left(3-\epsilon \right)}^2,{\left(3+\epsilon \right)}^2-9\right\}.$

$\left|x^2-1\right|=\left|x-1\right|·\left|x+1\right|<\epsilon \text{/}3·3=\epsilon$

Since both s and $y=t$ are continuous everywhere, then $h\left(t\right)=s\left(t\right)-t$ is continuous everywhere and, in particular, it is continuous over the closed interval $\left[2,5\right].$ Also, $h\left(2\right)=3>0$ and $h\left(5\right)=\mathrm{-3}<0.$ Therefore, by the IVT, there is a value $x=c$ such that $h\left(c\right)=0.$

The function $f\left(x\right)=2^x-x^3$ is continuous over the interval $\left[1.25,1.375\right]$ and has opposite signs at the endpoints.

b. It is not possible to redefine $f\left(1\right)$ since the discontinuity is a jump discontinuity.

False. It is continuous over $\left(\text{−}\infty ,0\right)\cup \left(0,\infty \right).$

False. Consider $f\left(x\right)=\{\begin{array}{l}x\text{if}x\ne 0\\ 4\text{if}x=0\end{array}.$

False. IVT only says that there is at least one solution; it does not guarantee that there is exactly one. Consider $f\left(x\right)=\text{cos}\left(x\right)$ on $\left[-\pi ,2\pi \right].$

False. The IVT does not work in reverse! Consider ${\left(x-1\right)}^2$ over the interval $\left[\mathrm{-2},2\right].$
