Hi,
If we consider Rolle's Theorem:
"If [1] f is continuous on [a, b],
[2] differentiable in (a,b), and
[3]f (a) = f (b), then there exists a point c in (a, b) where f'(c) = 0."
In the above theorem, i did not get why condition [1] is needed as we have differentiability => continuity. Can Holes at a and b (removable discontinuity) can be taken care by condition [3]?
Thanks,
