Langrange Mean Therorem : Letf:[a,b]\rightarrow\mathbb{R}be acontinuous function,differentiableon theOpen interval (page does not exist)(a,b). Then there exists somec\in (a,b)such thatf'(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}.
The function is continuous but not differentiable in the interval (-1,1) at x=0. Hence, lagrange's mean value therorem cannot be applied to this function. Hence, there doesnt exists any c such thatf'(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}.
