Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Final Answer: The function does not satisfy all the hypotheses of Rolle's Theorem on the interval [0, 81]. Therefore, there are no values of } c \text{ that satisfy the conclusion of Rolle's Theorem.}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :First, we need to check if the function \(f(x) = \sqrt{x} - \frac{1}{9}x\) is continuous and differentiable on the interval [0, 81] and if \(f(0) = f(81)\).

Step 2 :The function is continuous on the interval [0, 81] and \(f(0) = f(81)\), but it is not differentiable at x = 0 and x = 81. This is because the derivative of the function is not defined at these points. Therefore, the function does not satisfy all the hypotheses of Rolle's Theorem on the interval [0, 81].

Step 3 :However, we can still find the values of c in the interval (0, 81) where the derivative of the function is zero, as this might still provide useful information.

Step 4 :The derivative of the function is zero at x = 20.25. However, since the function is not differentiable at x = 0 and x = 81, this value does not satisfy the conclusion of Rolle's Theorem.

Step 5 :\(\boxed{\text{Final Answer: The function does not satisfy all the hypotheses of Rolle's Theorem on the interval [0, 81]. Therefore, there are no values of } c \text{ that satisfy the conclusion of Rolle's Theorem.}}\)
