Question:medium

\(f(x)\) is a cubic polynomial and the curve represented by \(y=f(x)\) passes through the origin. The function \(y=f(x)\) is an increasing function in \[ (-\infty,0)\cup(1,\infty) \] and a decreasing function in \[ (0,1). \] If \[ f'(2)=6, \] then the \(c\) of Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem on the interval \([0,2]\) satisfies the equation

Show Hint

If a cubic function is increasing and decreasing on specified intervals, first determine the zeros of \[ \boxed{f'(x)} \] from the sign changes. Then apply Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem using \[ \boxed{f'(c)=\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}.} \]
