What theorem is Weierstrass known for proving alongside the intermediate value theorem?

  • Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem

  • Central Limit theorem

  • Pythagorean theorem

  • Bayes theorem

Answer

The Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem, named after Bernard Bolzano and Karl Weierstrass, states that every bounded sequence of real numbers contains a convergent subsequence. This means that if you have a set of numbers that are all close to each other, then you can always find a smaller subset of those numbers that are even closer to each other.
