10. Verify Rolle’s theorem for the function y=f(x)=x2+4 on [–3,3]

Sol : • Given f(x) = x2+4 ⇒f '(x) = 2x

• f(x) is (i) continuous on [–3,3]
• (ii) differentiable in (–3,3)
« (iii) f(–3) = (–3)2+4 = 9+4 = 13;
f(3) = 32+4 = 9+4 =13
• ⇒ f(–3) = f(3)
« So, from Rolle's theorem, f '(c)=0
⇒ 2c = 0 ⇒ c = 0
« ∴ c = 0∈(–3, 3).
• Hence, Rolle's theorem is verified.

∴ Hence, proved that AB is a constant.
