Verify Rolle’s theorem for each of the following functions:


Condition (1):


Since, f(x)=sin3x is a trigonometric function and we know every trigonometric function is continuous.


f(x)= sin3x is continuous on [0,π].


Condition (2):


Here, f’(x)= 3cos3x which exist in [0,π].


So, f(x)= sin3x is differentiable on (0,π).


Condition (3):


Here, f(0)=sin0=0


And f(π)=sin3π=0


i.e. f(0)=f(π)


Conditions of Rolle’s theorem are satisfied.


Hence, there exist at least one cϵ(0,π) such that f’(c)=0


i.e. 3cos3c =0


i.e.


i.e.


Value of


Thus, Rolle’s theorem is satisfied.
