Rolle's Theorem on a Closed Real Interval

Let $a,b$ be real numbers with $a<b$ in the order of the ordered field $\mathbb{R}$, let $[a,b]$ be the closed interval determined by $a$ and $b$, regarded as a subset of the real line $(\mathbb{R},d_{\mathbb{R}})$, and let the codomain $\mathbb{R}$ carry the same metric $d_{\mathbb{R}}$. Write $(a,b)$ for $\{x\in\mathbb{R}:a<x<b\}$; every $x\in(a,b)$ is an interior point of the interval $[a,b]$, since $a,b\in[a,b]$ and $a<x<b$.

Let $f:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}$ be continuous on $[a,b]$ and differentiable at every point of $(a,b)$, and assume that $f(a)=f(b)$.

Then there exists $c\in(a,b)$ such that

$$f'(c)=0 .$$
