Question

1.Determine whether Rolle's Theorem can be applied to f on the closed interval

[a, b].

(Select all that apply.)

f(x) = 2 tan x,    [0, ]

Yes, Rolle's Theorem can be applied. No, because f is not continuous on the closed interval [a, b]. No, because f is not differentiable in the open interval (a, b). No, because f(a) f(b).



If Rolle's Theorem can be applied, find all values of c in the open interval

(a, b)

such that

f'(c) = 0.

(Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If Rolle's Theorem cannot be applied, enter NA.)

c =

2. Find the point on the graph of the function that is closest to the given point. (x,y)=(?,?)

f(x) =

x-7, (18,0)

Explanation / Answer

1.Determine whether Rolle's Theorem can be applied to f on the closed interval

[a, b].

(Select all that apply.)

f(x) = 2 tan x,    [0, ]

f is not continuous at x =pi/2

No, because f is not continuous on the closed interval [a, b].

2)distance of point (x,y) on y=sqrt(x-7) to (18,0)= D=sqrt[(x-18)2+y2]

distance is minimum if (x-18)2+y2 is minimum

g(x,y)=(x-18)2+y2

but y=sqrt(x-7)

==>g(x)=(x-18)2+(sqrt(x-7) )2

==>g(x)=(x-18)2+ (x-7)

minimum distance ==>g '(x)=0 ==>2(x-18)+(1-0)=0==>(x-18)=-1/2 ==>x=35/2

y=sqrt(x-7) ==>y=sqrt((35/2)-7) ==>y=sqrt(21/2)

(x,y)=(35/2 ,sqrt(21/2))

point on the graph of the function that is closest to the given point.is (x,y)=(35/2 ,sqrt(21/2))
