Math Problem Statement
Verify Rolle's theorem for f (x)=sinx+2 for 0=<x=<2π
Solution
To verify Rolle's Theorem for on the interval , we need to ensure that the function satisfies the three conditions of Rolle's Theorem:
Rolle's Theorem Conditions:
- The function must be continuous on the closed interval .
- The function must be differentiable on the open interval .
- The function values at the endpoints must be equal, i.e., .
Step 1: Continuity and Differentiability
- The function is continuous and differentiable everywhere, including on the interval , because sine is continuous and differentiable, and adding a constant does not affect continuity or differentiability.
Thus, the first two conditions are satisfied.
Step 2: Checking
We now check the values of the function at the endpoints and .
Since , the third condition is satisfied.
Step 3: Finding such that
Now, we need to find a point where the derivative of equals zero.
-
First, compute the derivative of :
-
Now, solve for such that : The cosine function equals zero at:
Both and lie within the open interval .
Conclusion:
Rolle's Theorem is satisfied for on the interval , with points and where .
Would you like further clarification on any step? Here are five related questions to expand your understanding:
- How does Rolle's Theorem apply to non-trigonometric functions?
- What happens if the function isn't differentiable at some point within the interval?
- How can we interpret the geometric meaning of Rolle's Theorem?
- Can a function have more than one value of that satisfies Rolle's Theorem?
- How does Rolle’s Theorem relate to the Mean Value Theorem?
Tip: When solving Rolle’s Theorem problems, always verify continuity, differentiability, and endpoint equality before finding where the derivative is zero.
