Solution

It is given thatis a differentiable function.
Every differentiable function is a continuous function. Thus,
(a) f is continuous in [−5, 5].
(b) f is differentiable in (−5, 5).
Therefore, by the Mean Value Theorem, there exists c ∈ (−5, 5) such that

It is also given thatdoes not vanish anywhere.


Hence proved.
