As we learnt in

Rolle's Theorems -

Let f(x) be a function of x subject to the following conditions.

1. f(x) is continuous function of $x:x\epsilon [a,b]$

2. f'(x) is exists for every point : $x\epsilon [a,b]$

3. $f(a)=f(b)\:\:\:then\:\:f'(c)=0\:\:such \:that\:\:a<c<b.$

Let $f^{{}'}\left ( x \right )=ax^{2}+bx+c$

$f\left ( x \right )=\frac{ax^{3}}{3}+\frac{bx^{2}}{2}+cx$

now $f\left ( 0 \right )=0$ and

$f\left ( 1 \right )=\frac{a}{3}+\frac{b}{2}+c$

$\Rightarrow \frac{2a+3b+6c}{3}=0$

$\therefore f\left ( 1 \right )=f\left ( 0 \right )$ So $f{}'\left ( x \right )=0$ having at least one root between (0,1) by Rollers Rule.
