Answer:
Yes, Rolle's theorem can be applied
There is only one value of c such that f'(c) = 0, and this is c = 1.5 (or 3/2 in fraction form)
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, Rolle's theorem can be applied on this function because the function is continuous in the closed interval (it is a polynomial function) and differentiable in the open interval, and f(a) = f(b) given that:
Then there must be a c in the open interval for which f'(c) =0
In order to find "c", we derive the function and evaluate it at "c", making the derivative equal zero, to solve for c:
There is a unique answer for c, and that is c = 1.5
Area of rectangular board = length (inches) x width (inches) = 12" x 16" = 192 in²
Area of the border is given as 128 in²
Adding the area of the board and the border gives (192 + 128)in² = 320 in²
Set this up as the algebraic equation (x + 12)(x + 16) = 320 and solve for x:
Remember to use the FOIL method, which is multiplying the terms in the order of first, outer, inner, last.
x² + 12x + 16x + 192 = 320
x² + 28x + 192 - 320 = 0
x² + 28x - 128 = 0
solve for the two x values:
(x + 32)(x - 4) = 0, and knowing we only need the positive x value
x = 4 or 4 inches is the width of the border
