Question
Verify Rolle's theorem for the following function on the indicated intervals

$\text{f}(\text{x})=\sin2\text{x}\text{ on }\Big[0,\frac{\pi}{2}\Big]$

Answer

The given function is $\text{f}(\text{x})=\sin2\text{x}$

Since, $\sin2\text{x}$ is everywhere continuous and differentiable.

Therefore
 $\sin2\text{x}$ is continuous on $\Big[0,\frac{\pi}{2}\Big],$ and differentiable on $\Big(0,\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)$

Also,

$\text{f}\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)=\text{f}(0)=0$

Thus, f(x) satisfies all the conditions of Rolle's theorem.

Now, we have to show that there exists $\text{c}\in\Big(0,\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)$ such that f'(c) = 0.

We have

$\text{f}(\text{x})=\sin2\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}'(\text{x})=2\cos2\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}'(\text{x})=0$

$\Rightarrow2\cos2\text{x}=0$

$\Rightarrow\cos2\text{x}=0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{4}$

Thus, $\text{c}=\frac{\pi}{4}\in\Big(0,\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)$ such that $\text{f}'(\text{c})=0.$

Hence, Rolle's theorem is verified .

A laboratory blood test is 99% effective in detecting a certain disease when it is in fact, present. However, the test also yields a false positive result for 0.5% of the healthy person tested (i. e if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability 0.005, the test will imply he has the disease). If 0.1 percent of the population actually has the disease, what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive?
