In this problem you will use Rolle's theorem to determine whether it is possible för the function f(x) = 6x"+8x – 12 to have two or more real roots (or, equivalently, whether the graph of y = f(x) crosses the x-axis two or more times). Suppose that f(x) has at least two real roots. Choose two of these roots and call the smaller one a and the larger one b. By applying Rolle's theorem to f(x) on the interval [a, b), there exists at least one numberc in the interval (a, b) so that f'(c) = The values of the derivative f'(x) = are always ? and therefore it is O for f(x) to have two or more real roots.
