Question

Verify Rolle's Theorem for the following function:$f (x) = (x - 1) (x - 2)^{2}, [1,2]$

✓

Answer

$f (x) = (x - 1) (x - 2)^{2}, [1,2]$The function f(x) is differentiable on [1, 2] and so it is continuous on [1, 2]
$\therefore$ Al conditions of Rolles Theorem are satisfied
$\therefore f' (x) = (x - 1) 2 (x -2) + (x - 2)^{2}$
$= (x - 2)[2x - 2 + x- 2] = (x - 2) (3x - 4)$
$\therefore f' (c) = 0 \Rightarrow c = 2 \text{ and}\ {c}\frac{4}{3}$
$As 1<\frac{4}{3}<2, \text{the Roll's theorem is verfied}$
