If f(x) is a continuous function in [a, b] and is differentiable in (a, b) and f(a) = f(b) then there exist some c ∊ (a, b) such that f ' (c) = 0
Algorithm for proving Roll's Theorem
a) Explain the continuity of the function f(x) in close interval [a, b]
b) Explain the differentiable of the function f(x) in open interval (a, b). If function is differentiable then find f '(x).
c) Check whether f(a) = f(b)
d) If all the above three conditions are satisfied then there exist some c ∊ (a, b) such that f ' (c) = 0.
Use this equation to find the value of c.
If c ∊ (a, b) then Roll's Theorem verified.
NOTE: f '(x) is called the slope of tangent and when f '(x) = 0 then slope is become parallel to the x-axis.
In the figure below red lines shows the tangents are parallel to the x-axis at all the points where f '(x) = 0
