State and verify rolle's theorem and state and verify mean value theorem..

OpenStudy (amilapsn):

Rolle's theorem:

OpenStudy (amilapsn):

\((a<b)\wedge (f~is~continuous~on[a,b])\\\wedge (f~is~differentiable~on(a,b))\wedge (f(a)=f(b)=0)\\ \Rightarrow \exists c\in(a,b)~s.t.f^/(c)=0\)

OpenStudy (amilapsn):

Mean value theorem:

OpenStudy (amilapsn):

\((a<b)\wedge (f~is~continuous~on[a,b])\\\wedge (f~is~differentiable~on(a,b))\\ \Rightarrow \exists c\in(a,b)~s.t.f^/(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\)

OpenStudy (amilapsn):

To verify the mean value theorem take, \[\Large\sf{F(x)=f(x)-f(a)-\left(\frac{x-a}{b-a}\right)\left(f(b)-f(a)\right)}\]

OpenStudy (amilapsn):

and apply Rolle's theorem to \(F(x)\)

i cant understaunderstand the verification.. can you send me a link of that.. plz

OpenStudy (amilapsn):

Assume: \[\Large\sf(a<b)\wedge (f~is~continuous~on[a,b])\\\wedge (f~is~differentiable~on(a,b))\] take \[\Large\sf{F(x)=f(x)-f(a)-\left(\frac{x-a}{b-a}\right)\left(f(b)-f(a)\right)}\] \[F(a)=F(b)=0\\ \therefore\text{by rolle's theorem}\\ \exists c\in(a,b)s.t. F^/(c)=0\] by that you can get the mean value theorem..... It's a matter of taking derivatives and simplifications....

Oh okay dear.. from where i cn gwt that derivatuins?? :(

I m weakn proving the rules..
