CalcBC Chp 4- 2 Rolle’s Theorem and Mean Value Theorem NOTES 1 ROLLE’S TH EOREM A set of conditions used to determine if there is a turning point within the given interval. Let f be a function that satisfies the following three hypotheses: (1) f is CONTINUOUS on the (closed) interval [a, b] (2) f is DIFFERENTIABLE on the (open) interval (a, b) (3) f(a) = f(b) (the endpoints have the same y-value ) Then, there is at least one number c in the (open) interval (a, b) such that f’(c) = 0 Visual example of how Rolle's involves extreme value points: f(a) f(a) f(a) f(b) f(b) f(b) f(c) f(c) f(c) Why deriv.= 0? Because the segment connecting the endpoints is horizontal and at x = c there may be an EVP.

2. Ex(Apply Rolle’s Thm)— Verify the function satisfies the three hypotheses of Rolle’s Thm on the given interval. If the conditions are met, find all numbers c that satisfy the conclusions of Rolle’s Thm. f(x) = [ 6, 0] <Vocabulary assistance> hypotheses are the three conditions: continuous, differentiable, f(a) = f(b) conclusion: f '(c) = 0 <Answer> continuous (no undefined y-values) function does not negative value under the square-root for the given interval it is all continuous on the interval [ 6, 0] (check) differentiable (no undefined slopes) could be a problem where the derivative has variable in denominator get derivative to see what it looks like (product and chain rules used) f '(x) = + (fast add) f'(x) = f '(x) = 0 (use numerator=0)
