As we have learned

Geometrical interpretation of Rolle's theorem -

Let  f(x) be a function defined on [a, b] such that the curve  y = f(x) is continuous between points  {a, f(a)}  and  {b, f(b)}  at every points on the curve encept at the end point it is possible to draw a unique tangent and ordinates at  x = a  and  x = b are equal  f(a) = f(b).

- wherein

 

 \because all condition of rolle's are satisfied by f(x) so there will be at least one 'c'\epsilon (a,b)

such that f'(c)=0
