Question

Verify that the function satisfies the three hypotheses of Rolle?s Theorem on the given interval. Then find all numbers c that satisfy the conclusion of Rolle?s Theorem. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) f(x)=x^3-x^2-12x+5, [0,4] Please try again. The three hypotheses of Rolle?s Theorem for a function for the given interval [a, b) are: (i) f is continuous on [a, b), (ii) f is differentiable on (a, b), and (iii) f(a) = f(b). Verify each of these, and then use the quadratic formula to solve for c in f(c) = 0 to obtain all numbers c in (a, b) that satisfy the conclusion of Rolle?s Theorem. Verify that the function satisfies the three hypotheses of Rolle?s Theorem on the given interval. Then find all numbers c that satisfy the conclusion of Rolle?s Theorem.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

1)f(x)=x3 -x2-12x+5 [0,4]

f(0)=5

f(4)=(4)3 -(4)2-12(4)+5=64-16-48+5=5

f(4)=5

f(0)=5=f(4)

f is continuous on [0,4] and f is differntiable on(0,4)

to find c ;f'(c)=0

f'(c)=3x2-2x-12

(b±sqrt(b24(a)(c)))/2(a)=

(2±(2)24(3)(12))/2(3)

(2±sqrt(148))/6

=(2±sqrt(4×37))/6

=(2±2sqrt(37))/6

c=(1±1sqrt(37))/3

c=2.36or -1.69

2)f(x)=sqrt(x)-1/3x [0,9]

f(0)=0

f(9)=sqrt(9)-1/3(9)=0

f(0)=f(9)=0

f is continuous on [0,9] and f is differntiable on(0,9)

f'(c)=0

f'(x)=1/2sqrt(x)-1/3=0

1/2sqrt(x)=1/3

2sqrt(x)=3

4x=9

c=3/2,-3/2
