Rolles Theorem :
Let be a function that satisfies the following three hypotheses.
1. is continuous on
.
2. is differentiable on
.
3. .
Then there is a number in
such that
.
The function is .
The function is continuous on the interval
, because it is a polynomial.
Differentiate on each side with respect to
.
is not differentiable at
, but it is differentiable on the open interval
, which satisfies the Rolle
s Theorem.
Check at the end points :
Substitute in
.
Substitute in

, hence Rolle
s theorem is applicable on
.
Find the value of , such that
