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.$\text{f}(\text{x})=\sin\text{x}-\sin2\text{x}-\text{x}\text{ on }[0,\pi]$

Answer

We have,$\text{f}(\text{x})=\sin\text{x}-\sin2\text{x}-\text{x}$
Since, $\sin\text{x},\sin2\text{x}\ \&\ \text{x}$ are everywhere continuous and differentiable.
Therefore, f(x) is continuous on $[0,\pi]$ and differentiable on $(0,\pi)$
Concequently, there exist some $\text{c}\in(0,\pi)$such that
$\text{f}'(\text{c})=\frac{\text{f}(\pi)-\text{f}(0)}{\pi-0}=\frac{\text{f}(\pi)-\text{f}(0)}{\pi}$
Now, $\text{f}(\text{x})=\sin\text{x}-\sin2\text{x}-\text{x}$
$\text{f}'(\text{x})=\cos\text{x}-2\cos2\text{x}-1,\text{f}(\pi)=-\pi,\text{f}(0)=0$
$\therefore\ \text{f}'(\text{x})=\frac{\text{f}(\pi)-\text{f}(0)}{\pi-0}$
$\Rightarrow\cos\text{x}-2\cos2\text{x}-1=-1$
$\Rightarrow\cos\text{x}-2\cos2\text{x}=0$
$\Rightarrow\cos\text{x}-4\cos^2\text{x}=-2$
$\Rightarrow4\cos^2\text{x}-\cos\text{x}-2=0$
$\Rightarrow\cos\text{x}=\frac{1}{8}\big(1\pm\sqrt{33}\big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\cos^{-1}\Big[\frac{1}{8}\big(1\pm\sqrt{33}\big)\Big]$
Thus, $\text{c}=\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{1\pm\sqrt{33}}{8}\Big)\in(0,\pi)$ such that $\text{f}'(\text{c})=\frac{\text{f}(\pi)-\text{f}(0)}{\pi-0}.$
Hence, Lagrange's mean value theorem is verified.
