Question
Verify Lagrange's mean value theorem for the following function on the indicated intervals. find a point $'c\ '$ in the indicated interval as stated by the Lagrange's mean value theorem. $f(x) = x(x + 4)^2$ on $[0,4]$
✓

Answer

Here$,f(x) = x(x + 4)^2$
$\Rightarrow f(x) = x(x^2+ 16 + 8x)$
$\Rightarrow f(x) = x^3 + 8x^2+ 16x$
Since $f(x)$ is a polynomial function which is everywhere continuous and differentiable.
Therefore$, f(x)$ is continuous on $[0, 4]$ and derivable on $(0, 4)$
Thus, both the conditions of Lagrange's theorem is satisfied.
Consequently, there exists some $\text{c}\in(0,4)$ such that
$\text{f}'(\text{c})=\frac{\text{f}(4)-\text{f}(0)}{4-0}=\frac{\text{f}(4)-\text{f}(0)}{4}$
Now$, f(x) = x^3 + 8x^2+ 16x$
$\Rightarrow f(x) = 3x^2+ 16x + 16,$
$\Rightarrow f(4) = 64+ 128 + 64 = 256,$
$\Rightarrow f(0) = 0$
$\therefore\ \text{f}'(\text{x})=\frac{\text{f}(4)-\text{f}(0)}{4-0}$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x}^2+16\text{x}+16=\frac{256}{4}$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x}^2+16\text{x}-48=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=-\frac{4}{3}\big(2+\sqrt{13}\big),\frac{4}{3}\big(\sqrt{13}-2\big)$
Thus, $\text{c}=\frac{-8+4\sqrt{13}}{3}\in(0,4)$ such that $\text{f}'(\text{c})=\frac{\text{f}(4)-\text{f}(0)}{4-0}$
Hence, Lagrange's mean value theorem is verified.
