Verify Rolle's theorem for the function f(x) = x2 + 4 in [–3, 3]. |
|
Answer» Given f(x) = x2 + 4 Since f is a second degree polynomial ∴ f is continuous on [–3, 3] and f is desivable on (–3, 3) Also f(–3) = 9 + 4 = 13 f(3) = 9 + 4 = 13 ∴ f(–3) = f(3) ∴ f satisfies all the conditions of Role's theorum. ∴ There exists c∈(–3, 3) such that f1(c) = 0 But f1(x) = 2x f1(c) = 2c 0 = 2c ⇒ c = 0 ∈ (–3, 3) Hence Rolle's theorum is verified. |
