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.
$f(x) = 2x - x^2$ on $[0, 1]$
✓

Answer

We have,$f(x) = 2x - x^2$ Since a polynomial function is everywhere continuous and differentiable.
Therefore, f(x) is continuous on 0, 1 and differentiable on $0,1$
Thus, both conditions of Lagrange's mean value theorem are satisfied.
So, there must exist at least one real number $\text{c}\in0,1$ such that
$\text{f}'(\text{c})=\frac{\text{f}(1)-\text{f}(0)}{1-0}=\frac{\text{f}(1)-\text{f}(0)}{1}$
Now,
$f(x) = 2x - x^2$
$\Rightarrow f'(x) = 2 - 2x,$
$\Rightarrow f(1) = 2 - 1$
$\Rightarrow f(1) = 1,$
$\Rightarrow f(0) = 0$
$\therefore\ \text{f}'(\text{x})=\frac{\text{f}(1)-\text{f}(0)}{1-0}$
$\Rightarrow2-2\text{x}=\frac{1-0}{1}$
$\Rightarrow-2\text{x}=1-2$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}$
Thus, $\text{c}=\frac{1}{2}\in(1,0)$ such that $\text{f}'(\text{c})=\frac{\text{f}(1)-\text{f}(0)}{1-0}$
Hence, Lagrange's mean value theorem is verified.
