    qj t Mean Value Theorem - 4.1 INTRODUCTION The Lagrange’s and Cauchy’s Mean Value Theorems (MVTs) are very important results in calculus and they are used in many branches in science and engineering. The general form of MVT due to Taylor and Maclaurin are presented here. These two theorems are used to expand a function into finite and infinite series. 4.2. ROLLE’S THEOREM Let a function f be defined on a closed interval [a, 5]. Further suppose that a fis continuous on [a, 5], it) fis derivable in the open interval (a, b), and WS Ka =70. Then there exists at least one value of x say c, where a < c < 6, such that f')=0. Note: ; The three conditions of Rolle’s theorem are a set of sufficient conditions. Sometimes all these conditions are not necessary to get the result. Geometrical interpretation of Rolle’ theotem: If the graph, y=/(x) be continuous throughout the interval from a to b; and if the curve has a tangent at every point on it from ato b except possibly at the two extreme points a and 5; and has the dinates at two points a, b equal, then there must exist at least one point on the curve between a and b where the tangent is parallel to the x-axis (Figures 4.1(@) and (b)). 102 Rolle's Theorem (See. 4.2) | 103 E4.1 Verify Rolle’s thedrem for each of the following cases: \o— MW, f@)=|x|,-Isxs1; (WBUT.2003) * Mh fayex -5x+6in2 in-1 $x$ 1.

Then by Lagrange’s MVT, f(b) - f(@ =(b-a) f’(o), a0 on[a, pb] and b> a, the right hand side of the above quation is positive, and hence f(b)- fla)>0 or f(b) > f@ as fis an increasing function on [a, 5].
