1. [BEU-2019] It is given that Rolle’s theorem holds for the function f (x) = x3 + bx2 + cx,
0 ≤ x ≤ 2 at the point x = 43 . Find the values of b and c.
3. [BEU-2020] Let f (x) = x3 − 6x2 + 11x − 6 be a function defined on [1, 3]. Then the
point c ∈ (1, 3) such that f 0 (c) = 0 is given by
A. c = 2 ± √1 B. c = 2 ± √1 C. c = 2 ± 1
D. None of the above
