The bounds of the interval are included. Check the signs of and . If opposite, then z zero occurs between them on the interval.

A report of not being satisfied, here I explain, hopefully better:
The goal is to learn if f crosses the x-axis on the given interval. The bounds of the interval ARE INCLUDED. Let x be the left shown bound and evaluate f. Let x be the right shown bound and evaluate f. Now LOOK AT THE SIGNS of these f values. Compare this to what the Intermediate Value Theorem says.
