Is Rolle’s theorem applicable to f(x) = tan x on [ \(\frac {\pi }{4}, \frac {5\pi }{4}\) ]?(a) Yes(b) NoThis question was posed to me in my homework.Query is from Mean Value Theorem topic in section Continuity and Differentiability of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

Right answer is (b) No

Best explanation: Given function is f(x) = tan x on [ \(\frac {\PI }{4}, \frac {5\pi }{4}\) ]

F(x) = tan x is not DEFINED at x on [ \(\frac {\pi }{4}, \frac {5\pi }{4}\) ]

So, f(x) is not CONTINUOUS on [ \(\frac {\pi }{4}, \frac {5\pi }{4}\) ].

Hence, ROLLE’s theorem is not applicable.
