Question Details

Another form of Rolle’s theorem for the continuous condition is

Options

A

f is continuous on [a,a-h]

B

f is continuous on [a,h]

C

f is continuous on [a,a+h]

D

f is continuous on [a,ah]

Correct Answer :

f is continuous on [a,a+h]

Solution :

The correct option is f is continuous on [a,a+h].

Step-by-step Explanation:

Rolle's Theorem is traditionally stated for a function defined on a closed interval. The standard continuity condition requires the function to be continuous on the closed interval:

[a,b]

We can rewrite the upper limit of the interval by introducing a step size or increment represented by:

h

If we define the relation between the endpoints as:

b=a+h

Then, substituting this expression for the upper bound into the interval gives:

[a,a+h]

Consequently, the corresponding condition for this form of the theorem is that the function must be continuous on the closed interval:

[a,a+h]
