Well, this probelm requests one of Lagrange's
consequence.
We'll assign a function f(x) = cube root (x) =
x^(1/3)
The function is continuous and it could be
differentiated over the range [64 , 68].
The Lagrange's
theorem states that:
If the followings are
true
1) f(x) continuous over [64 ,
68]
2) f(x) differentiable over the range (64 ,
68)
Then there is a point c that belongs to the range [64 ,
68], such as f(68) - f(64) = f'(c)*(68 - 64).
We'll
re-write the identity f(68) - f(64) = f'(c)*(68 -
64);
(68)^(1/3) - (64)^(1/3) =
[4/3c^(2/3)]
(68)^(1/3) - 4 =
[4/3c^(2/3)]
But (68)^(1/3) - 4 < 1/12
<=> [4/3c^(2/3)] < 1/12
[4/c^(2/3)]
< 1/4 => [1/c^(2/3)] < 1/16
We know
that 64 < c < 68 => 64^(2/3) < c^(2/3) <
68^(2/3)
1/64^(2/3) > 1/c^(2/3) >
1/68^(2/3)
1/16 > 1/c^(2/3) >
1/68^(2/3)
The identity (68)^(1/3) - 4
< 1/12 is verified for af function f(x) = x^(1/3), continuous and differentiable
over the range [64 , 68].
