OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

do u know what is mean value theorem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yess i think there is only two, right?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

whats the final equation u've got?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

u'll get 1 real and 2 complex roots

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

so ithink only one will be in that interval

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

\[f'(c)=\frac{ f(b)-f(a) }{ b-a }\] it is the MVT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh youre right, its only one, thank you @sidsiddhartha (:

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

\[f(x)=|(x^2+1)(X^2-10)|\\f'(x)=|4x^3-18x|\\f'(c)=|4c^3-18c|\\so\\4c^3-18c=\frac{ f(2.5)-f(0) }{ 2.5-0 }=\frac{ 37.5 }{ 2.5 }=15\\4c^3-18c-15=0\\\]

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

from here u'll get 1 real and 2 complex roots and only the real one will be inside the interval

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):
