No Homework!!! • Take time to review problems from section 2.8. Make sure you can do all the problems without any help. • Start lab 04 -- be sure to read the info in the PPT. • Maple Lab tomorrow
11/8 • Last day to withdraw from a class. • Talk to me (or your advisor) if you have any questions. • I and your advisor are here to help you make a informed decision

Rolle’s Theorem Suppose f satisfies the following 3 conditions: 1. f is continuous on [a,b]. 2. f is differentiable on (a,b). 3. f(a) = f(b) Then there is a number c in (a,b) such that
Rolle’s Theorem a b
Rolle’s Theorem a b c
Example 1* Prove that has exactly one real root.
Example 1* (Q&A) Why do we need to show it when it is obvious from the graph?
We know… If f(x)=C on (a,b), then f’(x)=0 on (a,b)
T or F If f’(x)=0 on (a,b), then f(x)=C on (a,b)
The Mean Value Theorem Let f be a function satisfies the following conditions: 1. f is continuous on the closed interval [a,b]. 2. f is differentiable on the open interval (a,b). Then there is a number c in (a,b) such that or, equivalently,

Theorem (Consequence) If for all in an interval , then is constant on . Why?
Why? (1) Let , be two numbers in . Assuming , draw a diagram to illustrate the positions of the 4 points.
Why? (2) is differentiable on implies that (i) is continuous on (why?) (ii) is differentiable on (why?)
Why? (3) By the MVT, there is no. in such that () What is the value of ?
Why? (4) By the MVT, there is no. in such that () What is the is the relationship between and ?
