Rolle's Theorem, "Let f be a continuous function on [a,b] that is differentiable on (a,b) and such that f(a)=f(b). Then there exists at least one point c on (a,b) such that f'(c)=0."

Rolle's Theorem requires three conditions be satisified.

(a) What are these three conditions?

(b) Find three functions that satisfy exactly two of these three conditions, but for which the conclusion of Rolle's theorem does not follow, i.e., there is no point c in (a,b) such that f'(c)=0. Each function should satisfy a different pair of conditions than the other two functions. For each function you should give a definition, a graph, and a short justification of its failing to meet the conclusion of Rolle's Theorem.

Let f be a continuous function on [a, b] which is differentiable on (a,b). Then f is non-decreasing on [a,b] if and only if f′(x) ≥ 0 for all x ∈ (a,b), while if f is non-increasing on [a,b] if and only if f′(x) ≤ 0 for all x ∈ (a, b). can you please prove this theorem? thank you!

Rolle's Theorem Question if f(a)=f(b) then it is constant function, so every point c in the interval (a,b) is zero. I don't understand the terms constant function, is it supposed to be a horizontal line or it can be a parabola curve. For example, when f(a)=f(b) and they both exist at the endpoint then it can be a parabola curve then it break the assumption that f(a)=f(b) then it is constant function, so every point c in the interval (a,b)...

f : [a, b] → R is continuous and in the open interval (a,b) differentiable. f rises strictly monotonously ⇒ ∀x ∈ (a, b) : f ′(x) > 0. (TRUE or FALSE?) f rises strictly monotonously ⇐ ∀x ∈ (a, b) : f ′(x) > 0. (TRUE or FALSE?) f is constant ⇐⇒ ∀x∈(a,b): f′(x)=0 (TRUE or FALSE?) If f is reversable, f has no critical point. (TRUE or FALSE?) If a is a “minimizer” of f, then f ′(a)...

a) Suppose f:[a, b] → R is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b) and f ' < -1 on (a, b). Prove that f is strictly decreasing on [a, b]. b) Suppose f:[a, b] → R is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b) and f ' ≠ -1 on (a, b). Why must it be true that either f ' > -1 on all of (a, b) or f ' < -1 on all...

1) Let f(x) be a continuous, everywhere differentiable function and g(x) be its derivative. If f(c) = n and g(c) = d, write the equation of the tangent line at x = c using only the variables y, x, c, n, and d. You may use point-slope or slope-intercept but do not introduce more variables. 2) Let f(x) be a continuous, everywhere differentiable function. What kind information does f'(x) provide regarding f(x)? 3) Let f(x) be a continuous, everywhere differentiable...
