The correct answer is:
$f^{\prime}(x)=0$
Rolle's theorem says between any two roots of a polynomial $f(x)$, there is always a root of its derivative $f^{\prime}(x)$
Therefore between $a$ and $b$. There exist at least one root of the polynomial equation $f^{\prime}(x)=0$
Therefore between $a$ and $b$. There exist at least one root of the polynomial equation $f^{\prime}(x)=0$
