sin θ If F has a max or min at some c ∈ (a, b), then F (c) = 0 and f (c) = f(b)−f(a) b−a as desired. In fact, I claim that F must have a max or min in (a, b). Because otherwise, both the max and min must occur at a or b. As F (a) = F (b) = 0 this forces both the max and min to be 0 and F (x) to be identically 0. In this case, every x ∈ (a, b) is a max and a min, contradicting the hypothesis that F has no max or min in (a, b).
