Given the function
y = f ^x h = 5x2 + 10x in the internal x = ^1, 2h
Since, function y is continuous in the interval ^1, 2h as well as its is
differentiable at each point so, from Lagranges mean value theorem there exist
at least a point where
f ^b h - f ^a h
f l^c h =

Here, we have
a=1,b=2
So, for x = a = 1, we obtain
y = f ^a h = f ^1 h = 5 ^1 h2 + 10 ^1 h = 15
and for x = b = 2
y = f ^b h = f ^2 h = 5 ^2 h2 + 10 ^2 h = 40
