Rolle's theorem is applicable in the interval [-2,2] for the function

  1. A \(f(x)=x^{3}\)
  2. B \(f(x)=4 x^{4}\)
  3. C \(f(x)=2 x^{3}+3\)
  4. D \(f(x)=\pi|x|\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(f(x)=4 x^{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If we take \(f(x)=4 x^{4}\), then (i) \(f(x)\) is continuous in (-2,2) (ii) \(f(x)\) is differentiable in (-2,2) (iii) \(f(-2)=f(2)\) So, \(f(x)=4 x^{4}\) satisfies all the conditions of Rolle's theorem therefore \(\exists\) a point \(c\) such that \(f^{\prime}(c)=0\)…
