Rolle's theorem
专有名词
英文释义
专有名词
- The theorem that any real-valued differentiable function that attains equal values at two distinct points must have a point somewhere between them where the first derivative (the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function) is zero. In mathematical terms, if f:ℝ→ℝ is differentiable on (a,b) and f(a)=f(b) then ∃c∈(a,b):f'(c)=0.
词源
Named after French mathematician Michel Rolle (1652–1719), although his 1691 proof covered only the case of polynomial functions and did not use the methods of differential calculus.
