Which set of hypotheses on a real-valued function ff defined on [a,b][a,b] is sufficient to guarantee that some number cc in (a,b)(a,b) satisfies f′(c)=0f'(c)=0? a) ff is continuous on (a,b)(a,b), differentiable on (a,b)(a,b), and f(a)=f(b)f(a)=f(b). b) ff is continuous on [a,b][a,b], differentiable on (a,b)(a,b), and f(a)=f(b)f(a)=f(b). c) ff is continuous on [a,b][a,b], differentiable on (a,b)(a,b), with no restriction on f(a)f(a) and f(b)f(b). d) ff is continuous on [a,b][a,b], differentiable on (a,b)(a,b), and f(a)<f(b)f(a)<f(b).
