Question 10

Which theorem states that a continuous function on a closed interval attains both a maximum and a minimum?

Correct answer: Extreme Value Theorem

The Extreme Value Theorem guarantees absolute extrema for continuous functions on closed bounded intervals.

Question 11

Which theorem relates the side lengths of a right-angled triangle?

Correct answer: Pythagorean theorem

The Pythagorean theorem states that a² plus b² equals c² in a right-angled triangle.
