Answer:

Rolle’s Theorem is not applicable  [1,3]

Hint:

f (x) is continuous for all x and hence continuous in [1,3]

Given:

               f (x) = 2x^2 - 5x +3 on [1,3]

Explanation:

We have

               f (x) = 2x^2 - 5x +3

        1.Being polynomialf (x) is continuous for all x and hence continuous in [1,3]

        2. f (x') = 4x -5, which exists in (1,3) 

            \therefore f (x) is derivable in (1,3) 

3.

         \begin{array}{l} \\ f(1)=2(1)^{2}-5(1)+3\\ \begin{aligned} &=2-5+3=-3+3=0 \\ f(3)=& 2(3)^{2}-5(3)+3 \\ &=2 \times 9-15+3 \\ &=18-15+3=3+3=6 \\ \therefore f(1) & \neq f(3) \end{aligned} \end{array}

Thus third condition of Rolle’s Theorem is not satisfied.

Hence, Rolle’s Theorem is not applicable.
