Rolle’s Theorem
Rolle’s Theorem Let f be a function that satisfies the following three hypotheses: 1) f is continuous on [ a, b] 2) f is differentiable on [ a, b] 3) f(a) = f(b) Then there is a number c in [ a, b] such that f’(c) = 0
Example Verify that satisfies all 3 hypotheses of Rolle’s theorem over the interval [ 0, 2] and find all values of c that satisfy this conclusion.
Example Use Rolle’s Theorem to find all values of c such that f’(c) = 0 between the intercepts of the function
