Solution

Dear student
As f'c=fb-fab-aAs fx=x3-5x2-3xIt is a polynomial ,So it is continuous in the interval 1,3 and derivative in the interval1,3fx=x3-5x2-3xf'x=3x2-10x-3Let a=1 and b=3f'c=3c2-10c-3f1=13-512-31=1-5-3=-7f3=33-532-33=27-45-9=-27By mean value theorem f'c=fb-fab-a3c2-10c-3=-27--73-1=-202=-103c2-10c-3=-103c2-10c-3+10=03c2-10c+7=03c2-7c-3c+7=03c2-3c-7c+7=03cc-1-7c-1=03c-7c-1=0c=73 or c=1
