Read the following paragraph as quickly as you can, and see if you encounter any diculties.
Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by itslef but the wrod as a wlohe.
This has been presented as an example of a principle of human reading compre-hension. If you keep the rst letter and the last letter of a word in their correct positions, then scramble the letters in between, the word is still quite readable in the context of an accompanying paragraph. However, it seems that this is a bit of a myth and not truly based on solid research.1 In short, for longer words the task is much more dicult. Nonetheless, we are going to imitate the process on some English text.
The task will be to read in a paragraph from a le, scramble the internal letters of each word, and then write the result to a le. Handling punctuation is tricky. You are required to deal with punctuation that comes at the end of a word (period, question mark, exclamation, etc.)|that is, punctuation is left untouched and does not count as the nal unscrambled letter. Optionally, one can deal with the more dicult task of handling all punctuation, such as apostrophes for possessives or hyphenated words. Truly randomizing the order of letters is a task for later in the text, but we can do some reasonable approximations now. Attacking this problem in a divide-and-conquer way should begin by writing code to scramble the letters in a word.
Create a dierent solution by dening scrambling functions for each of the following approaches: (Each approach counts as a dierent problem)
(a) For each letter choose a random number and rotate that letter by the random amount. Import random and use the random.randint(a,b) function where `a' and `b' dene the range of random numbers returned.
(b) Implement a dierent method to scrambling the letters. You must clearly describe in the comments the process to scramble the letters in place.It must be dierent than the process from part a.

Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that there is a root of the given equation in the specified interval. Ex = 6 − 5x, (0, 1) The equation ex = 6 − 5x is equivalent to the equation f(x) = ex − 6 + 5x = 0. F(x) is continuous on the interval [0
