Solution
Given :
\[f\left( x \right) = x^2 - 8x + 12\]
We know that a polynomial function is everywhere derivable and hence continuous.
So, being a polynomial function,
\[f\left( 6 \right) = \left( 6 \right)^2 - 8\left( 6 \right) + 12 = 36 - 48 + 12 = 0\]
\[ \therefore f\left( 2 \right) = f\left( 6 \right) = 0\]
Now, we have to show that there exists \[c \in \left( 2, 6 \right)\] such that \[f'\left( c \right) = 0\] .
\[f\left( x \right) = x^2 - 8x + 12\]
\[ \Rightarrow f'\left( x \right) = 2x - 8\]
\[ \therefore f'\left( x \right) = 0 \Rightarrow 2x - 8 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 4\]
Thus,
\[c = 4 \in \left( 2, 6 \right) \text { such that } f'\left( c \right) = 0\]
Hence, Rolle's theorem is verified.
