State Rolle's Theorem and show that $x^3 + 3x + 1 = 0$ has exactly one real solution. Find the area of the region enclosed by the parabola $y = 2 - x^2$ and the line y = -x. [5+5]
- Function/equation: $x^3 + 3x + 1 = 0$ If a function $f$ is: 1. continuous on the closed interval $[a, b]$, 2. differentiable on the open interval $(a, b)$, and 3. $f(a) = f(b)$, then there exists at least one point $c \in (a, b)$ such that $f'(c) = 0$. Let $f(x) = x^3 + 3x + 1$. This is a polyn...
