Verify Rolle's theorem for the following function on the indicated intervals $f(x) = x^2+ 5 x + 6$ on the interval $[-3, -2]$

Answer

Here$, f(x) = x^2+ 5 x + 6$ on $[-3, -2]$
$f(x)$ is continuous is $[-3, -2]$ and $f(x)$ is differentiable is $(-3, -2)$ since it is a polynomial function.
Now,
$f(x) = x^2+ 5x + 6$
$f(-3) = (-3)^2+5(-3) + 6$
$= 9 - 15 + 6$
$f(-3) = 0 ....(i)$
$f(-2) = (-2)^2+ 5(-2) + 6$
$= 4 - 10 + 6$
$f(-2) = 20 ....(ii)$
From equation $(i)$ and $(ii),$
$f(-3) = f(-2)$
So, Rolle's theorem is applicable is $[-3, -2],$ we have to show that
$f\ '(c) = 0$ as $\text{c}\in (-3,-2)$
Now,
$f(x) = x^2 + 5x + 6$
$f\ '(x) = 2x + 5$
$\Rightarrow f'(c) = 0$
$2c + 5 = 0$
$\text{c}=\frac{-5}{2}\in(-3,-2)$
So, Rolle's theorem is verified.
