Detailed Solution

Consider the function, ϕ(x)=(a0xn+a1xn1+...+an)dx

                                                   =a0xn+1n+1+a1xnn+...+anx+A …(1)

Where A  is constant.

ϕ(x)  being algebraic polynomial is continuous in the closed interval [0,1]  and differentiable in the open interval ]0,1[

If f(0)=f(1) , then we have a0n+1+a1n+...+an=0 …(2)

Thus ϕ(x)  is given in (1) by satisfying all conditions of Rolle’s theorem, so there exists atleast one x=c  s.t. 0<c<1 , where ϕ'(c)=0

i.e., atleast one root of ϕ'(x)=0

i.e., a0xn+a1xn1+...+an=0  lie between 0 and 1 if (2) is satisfied
