Question
Discuss the applicability of the Rolle's theorem for the following function on the indicated interval
$\text{f}(\text{x})=2\text{x}^2-5\text{x}+3\text{ on }[1,3]$

Answer

The given function $\text{f}(\text{x})=2\text{x}^2-5\text{x}+3\text{ on }[1,3].$ The domain of f is given to be (1, 3). It is a polynomial function.Thus, it is everywhere derivable and hence continuous.
But
f(1) = 0 and f(3) = 6
$\Rightarrow\text{f}(3)\neq\text{f}(1)$ Hence, Rolle's theorem is not applicable for the given function.
