Theorem ivthdich 14807

Description: The intermediate value theorem implies real number dichotomy. Because real number dichotomy (also known as analytic LLPO) is a constructive taboo, this means we will be unable to prove the intermediate value theorem as stated here (although versions with additional conditions, such as ivthinc 14797 for strictly monotonic functions, can be proved).

The proof is via a function which we call the hover function and which is also described in Section 5.1 of [Bauer], p. 493. Consider any real number 𝑧. We want to show that 𝑧 ≤ 0 ∨ 0 ≤ 𝑧. Because of hovercncf 14800, hovera 14801, and hoverb 14802, we are able to apply the intermediate value theorem to get a value 𝑐 such that the hover function at 𝑐 equals 𝑧. By axltwlin 8087, 𝑐 < 1 or 0 < 𝑐, and that leads to 𝑧 ≤ 0 by hoverlt1 14803 or 0 ≤ 𝑧 by hovergt0 14804. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon and Mario Carneiro, 22-Jul-2025.)
