Rolle’s Theorem - Let be continuous on the closed interval [, ] and differentiable on the interval [, ].
If then there is at least one number in [, ] such that ' .

in the interval [,]

check:
if continuous on [,]
if differentiable on [,]
if

The function is continuous and differentiable on [,].

=>
=> role's theorem can be applied
'
' gives =>

and

is continuous and differentiable on [, ]


'
=> since , role's theorem cannot be applied
