The correct Answer is:
To find the value of `c` in Rolle's Theorem for the function \( f(x) = x^3 - 3x \) in the interval \([0, \sqrt{3}]\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Verify the conditions of Rolle's Theorem Rolle's Theorem states that if a function is continuous on a closed interval \([a, b]\), differentiable on the open interval \((a, b)\), and \(f(a) = f(b)\), then there exists at least one \(c\) in \((a, b)\) such that \(f'(c) = 0\). 1. **Check continuity**: The function \(f(x) = x^3 - 3x\) is a polynomial, which is continuous everywhere. 2. **Check differentiability**: The function is also differentiable everywhere since it is a polynomial. 3. **Check endpoints**: Calculate \(f(0)\) and \(f(\sqrt{3})\): - \(f(0) = 0^3 - 3 \cdot 0 = 0\) - \(f(\sqrt{3}) = (\sqrt{3})^3 - 3(\sqrt{3}) = 3\sqrt{3} - 3\sqrt{3} = 0\) Since \(f(0) = f(\sqrt{3})\), the conditions for Rolle's Theorem are satisfied. ### Step 2: Find the derivative of the function Next, we need to find the derivative \(f'(x)\): \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(x^3 - 3x) = 3x^2 - 3 \] ### Step 3: Set the derivative equal to zero To find the value of \(c\), we set the derivative equal to zero: \[ 3x^2 - 3 = 0 \] \[ 3x^2 = 3 \] \[ x^2 = 1 \] \[ x = \pm 1 \] ### Step 4: Determine the valid value of \(c\) Since we are looking for \(c\) in the interval \((0, \sqrt{3})\), we only consider the positive value: \[ c = 1 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the value of \(c\) in Rolle's Theorem for the function \(f(x) = x^3 - 3x\) in the interval \([0, \sqrt{3}]\) is: \[ \boxed{1} \]
