An existence theorem for solutions tof(x) = 0

InR1, if a continuous function has opposite signs at the endpoints of an interval, then the function has a zero in the interval. If the function has a nonvanishing derivative at a zero, then there is an interval such that the function has opposite signs at the endpoints. In this paper each of these results is extended toRn.
