Thus, the mean value theorem says that (3(4)? +5(a)-2)-(3(-1)* +5(-1)-2) f= (+i) . This simplifies to f"(c) = 5. Next, we need to find f'(¢). The derivative of (x) is f(x) = 6x +5, s0f'(c) = 6c + 5. Now we can solve for c: 6c + 5 = 5 and c = 0. Note that (is in the interval (-1, 1), just as we ‘expected. a 2 c= “Bs as a 4. c=y2 5. No solution, function is not differentiable everywhere in the given interval. No conclusions can be guaranteed. 6. 3. c= cad Rolle’s theorem says that if f(x) is continuous on the interval (a, b] and is differentiable everywhere on the interval (a, b), and if (a) = f(b) = 0, then there exists at least one number c on the interval (a, b) such that f"(c) =0. Here, the function is f(x) = x - 8x + 12 and the interval is [2, 6]. First, we check if the function is equal to zero at both of the endpoints: f(6) = (6)'— 8(6) + 12 = 0 and fQ) = 2)? 8) + 12 = 0. Next, we take the derivative to find f*(c):f'(x) = 2x-8, so f"(c) = 2c - 8. Now we can solve for c: 2-8 = 0 and c = 4, Note that 4 is in the interval (2, 6), just as we expected. =| L " 7 c= AT. both solutions are in the interval so both are correct. We only choose the answers that are in the interval because they are guaranteed. 8. ext 2 9. No solution. Function is not continuous everywhere.
