Question

Discuss the applicability of the Rolle's theorem for the following function on the indicated interval
$\text{f}(\text{x})=[\text{x}]\text{ for }-1\leq\text{x}\leq1,$ where [x] denotes the greatest integer not exceeding x.

✓

Answer

Here, $\text{f}(\text{x})=[\text{x}]$ and $\text{x}\in[-1,1],$ at n = 1 $\text{LHL}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow(1-\text{h})}[\text{x}]$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}[1-\text{h}]$ $=0$ $\text{RHL}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow(1+\text{h})}[\text{x}]$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}[1+\text{h}]$ $=1$ $\text{LHL}\neq\text{RHL}$So, f(x) is not continuos at $1\in[-1,1]$
Hence, Rolle's theorem is not applicable on f(x) in [-1, 1].
