The value of in Lagrange's theorem for the function in the interval is:
- A
- B
- C
- DNon-existent in the interval
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem (LMVT) states that if a function is:Continuous on Differentiable on Then there exists at least one such that .For in the interval :The function is continuous on .However, is not differentiable at because it has a sharp corner there (the left-hand derivative is and the right-hand derivative is ).Since , the condition of differentiability on the open interval is not satisfied.Thus, LMVT is not applicable, and the value of is non-existent.
