We'll use Rolle's function to prove that the given
equation has one root over the range (0,1).
To apply
Rolle's theorem for a Rolle's function, we'll have to determine the anti-derivative of
the function6x^5-5x^4-2x+1.
Int (6x^5-5x^4-2x+1)dx = 6x^6/6
- 5x^5/5 - 2x^2/2 + x + C
We'll simplify and we'll get the
Rolle's function:
f(x) = x^6 - x^5 - x^2 +
x
We'll calculate f(0) =
0
We'll calculate f(1) = 1-1-1+1 =
0
Since the values of the fuction, at the endpoints of
interval, are equal: f(0) = f(1) => there is a point "c", between the values 0
and 1, so that f'(c) = 0.
But f'(x) =
6x^5-5x^4-2x+1
Based on Rolle's theorem, there is a value c
that cancels out the equation.
That means
that there is one root "c", of the equation 6x^5-5x^4-2x+1 = 0, in the interval
(0,1).
