7. Exercises 2.9.5. Since f (0) = sin 0 = 0 6= f (/2) = sin(/2) = 1, the hypothesis


of Rolles Theorem is not satisfied. But the hypothesis of the Mean Value Theorem
is satisfied since sin x is continuous and differentiable on [0, /2]. Since f 0 (x) =
cos x, the Mean Value Theorem gives
cos c =

sin(/2) sin 0

c = cos1 .

8. Exercises 2.9.7. Proof. For any a < b, it follows from the Mean Value Theorem
that there exist c (a, b) such that
f (b) f (a)
= f 0 (c) > 0,
ba
f (b) f (a) > 0,
f (a) < f (a).
So f (x) is increasing.
9. Exercises 2.9.9. f (x) = x3 + 5x + 1. Since f 0 (x) = 3x2 + 5 > 0, it follows from
Exercises 2.9.7 that f (x) is increasing.
