The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we can use Rolle's Theorem, which is applicable here since we have a differentiable function that meets the conditions of the theorem. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information**: We have a differentiable function \( f(x) \) such that \( f(\alpha) = f(\beta) = 0 \) where \( \alpha < \beta \). 2. **Apply Rolle's Theorem**: Since \( f(x) \) is continuous on the closed interval \([ \alpha, \beta ]\) and differentiable on the open interval \( ( \alpha, \beta ) \), we can apply Rolle's Theorem. According to Rolle's Theorem, if \( f(a) = f(b) \) for some \( a < b \), then there exists at least one \( c \) in the interval \( (a, b) \) such that: \[ f'(c) = 0 \] 3. **Conclusion**: Therefore, there exists at least one point \( c \) in the interval \( (\alpha, \beta) \) such that \( f'(c) = 0 \). 4. **Final Answer**: The interval \( (\alpha, \beta) \) contains at least one point \( c \) where the derivative \( f'(c) = 0 \).
