The value of \(c\) for which \(f(x)=x(x-3)^2, 0 \leq x \leq 3\), satisfies Rolle's theorem is:

  1. A \(0\)
  2. B 1
  3. C 2
  4. D 3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(0)=0(0-3)^2 = 0\) \(f(3)=3(3-3)^2 = 0\) \(f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(x^3-6x^2+9x) = 3x^2-12x+9\) \(f'(c)=0 \implies 3c^2-12c+9=0 \implies c^2-4c+3=0\) \((c-1)(c-3)=0 \implies c=1\) or \(c=3\) Since \(c \in (0,3)\), \(c=1\)
