Answer:

               b=-5, c=8

Hint:

               f(x)=x^{3}+b x^{2}+c x, x \in[1,2]

Given:

               f(x)=x^{3}+b x^{2}+c x, x \in[1,2], x=\frac{4}{3}

Explanation:

It is given that the Rolle’s Theorem holds for the function

               f(x)=x^{3}+b x^{2}+c x, x \in[1,2]

At the point,\begin{array}{l} x=\frac{4}{3} \end{array}

We need to find the value of b and c

               f(x)=x^{3}+b x^{2}+c x

Since it satisfies the Rolle’s Theorem, we have

               \begin{aligned} & f(1)=f(2) \\\\ \Rightarrow &(1)^{3}+b(1)^{2}+c(1)=(2)^{3}+b(2)^{2}+c(2) \\\\ \Rightarrow \quad & 1+b+c=8+4 b+2 c \end{aligned}

               \Rightarrow \quad 3 b+c=-7                                    … (i)

                                                                                                                                

Differentiating the given function, we have    

 \begin{array}{l} f^{\prime}(x)=3 x^{2}+2 b x+c \ \ \ \ \left[\because \frac{d\left(x^{n}\right)}{d x}=n x^{n-1}\right]\\\\ \Rightarrow f^{\prime}\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)=3\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^{2}+2 b\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)+c \\\\ \Rightarrow \quad 0=\frac{16}{3}+\frac{8 b}{3}+c \end{array}          … (ii)

Solving the equation (i) and (ii), we have

b=-5, c=8
