Answer

Mean value Theorem has been satisfied.

Work Step by Step

Since, we have, $f(x)=\sqrt{x (1-x)}$ Also, $f'(x)=(\dfrac{1}{2})[(x(1-x))^{-1/2}((1-x)-x)]$ . This implies that the function $f(x)=\sqrt{x (1-x)}$ is continuous on $[0,1]$ and differentiable on $(0,1)$. Hence, the Mean value Theorem has been satisfied.
