Suppose f(x) is a very well behaved function in that it is continuous and differential everywhere, and that f(2) = 6 and f(6) = 34.
a. Find the slope of the line between these two points on the graph.
b. What does the Mean Value Theorem tell you about f(x) in the interval between x = 2, and x = 6?
(a)
Two points on the line are and
---------------------------------------------------------------
(b)
f(x) is a very well behaved function in that it is continuous and differential everywhere.
Therefore
satisfies Mean value theorem in the interval between and
By Mean value theorem,
There is a number such that and
