The correct Answer is:
To verify Rolle's theorem for the function \( f(x) = \sqrt{4 - x^2} \) on the interval \([-2, 2]\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Check the conditions of Rolle's Theorem Rolle's theorem states that if a function \( f \) is continuous on the 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 \( f'(c) = 0 \). ### Step 2: Check continuity The function \( f(x) = \sqrt{4 - x^2} \) is defined for \( 4 - x^2 \geq 0 \). This gives us the domain \( -2 \leq x \leq 2 \). - Since \( f(x) \) is a square root function and is defined on the interval \([-2, 2]\), it is continuous on this interval. ### Step 3: Check differentiability Next, we need to check if \( f(x) \) is differentiable on the open interval \((-2, 2)\). - The derivative \( f'(x) \) can be found using the chain rule: \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(\sqrt{4 - x^2}) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{4 - x^2}} \cdot (-2x) = \frac{-x}{\sqrt{4 - x^2}} \] - The derivative \( f'(x) \) is defined for \( x \in (-2, 2) \) except at \( x = \pm 2 \). Thus, \( f(x) \) is differentiable on \((-2, 2)\). ### Step 4: Check if \( f(-2) = f(2) \) Now we need to evaluate \( f(-2) \) and \( f(2) \): - \( f(-2) = \sqrt{4 - (-2)^2} = \sqrt{4 - 4} = \sqrt{0} = 0 \) - \( f(2) = \sqrt{4 - (2)^2} = \sqrt{4 - 4} = \sqrt{0} = 0 \) Since \( f(-2) = f(2) = 0 \), the condition \( f(a) = f(b) \) is satisfied. ### Step 5: Find \( c \) such that \( f'(c) = 0 \) Now we need to find \( c \) in \((-2, 2)\) such that \( f'(c) = 0 \): \[ f'(c) = \frac{-c}{\sqrt{4 - c^2}} = 0 \] This implies that \( -c = 0 \), hence \( c = 0 \). ### Step 6: Conclusion The value \( c = 0 \) lies in the interval \((-2, 2)\). Therefore, we have verified that all conditions of Rolle's theorem are satisfied. ### Final Answer Rolle's theorem is verified for the function \( f(x) = \sqrt{4 - x^2} \) on the interval \([-2, 2]\). ---
