Lagrange’s Mean Value Theorem

If a function f  is defined on the closed interval [a,b] satisfying

the following conditions –
i) The function f is continuous on the closed interval [a, b]
ii)The function f  is differentiable on the open interval (a, b)
Then there exists a value  x =  c in such a way that
f'(c) = [f(b) – f(a)]/(b-a)
This theorem is also known as the Lagrange’s mean value
theorem.
 Rolle’s Theorem
A special case of Lagrange’s mean value theorem is Rolle’s Theorem
which states that:
If a function f  is defined in the closed interval [a, b] in such a way that it
satisfies the following conditions.
i) The function f is continuous on the closed interval [a, b]
ii)The function  f is differentiable on the open interval (a, b)
iii) Now if f (a) = f (b) , then there exists at least one value of x, let us
assume this value to be c, which lies between a and b i.e. (a < c < b )
 in such a way that f‘(c) = 0 .
