f(x)=x^2−9x+2, [0,9]
when, x = 0
f(x) = x^2 -9x +2
f(0) = y = 0 - 0 + 2 = 2
when, x=9
f(5) = y = 81 - 81 +2 = 2
thus, we have 2 points (0, 2) ; (9, 2)
slope,m = {2-(2)} / {9-0} = 0
hence, we have to calculate all the points,x where 0<x<5 and slope=0
f '(x) = 2x - 9 = 0
or, f '(c) = 2c - 9 = 0
c = 9/2 ( 0<x<9)
hence, the there is only one solution c=9/2 which satisfies Rolle's theore9
