Theorem ivthdich 14889

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 14879 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 14882, hovera 14883, and hoverb 14884, 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 8094, 𝑐 < 1 or 0 < 𝑐, and that leads to 𝑧 ≤ 0 by hoverlt1 14885 or 0 ≤ 𝑧 by hovergt0 14886. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon and Mario Carneiro, 22-Jul-2025.)
