Determine whether Rolle's Theorem can be applied to the function f(x) = x^4-2x^2 [-2,2]. if not find c and explain why
We are given that a function
Interval:[-2,2]
Rolle's theorem: It stats that the function is continuous on closed interval [a,b] and differentiable on (a,b) such that
f(a)=f(b) ,then f'(c)=0 for some
Given function is polynomial .Therefore, the function is defined on interval [-2,2].
It is differentiable on (-2,2) because derivative exist.
Therefore,Rolle's theorem can be applied.
When Rolle's theorem applies then there exits c such that
