Question #1ba37 Calculus Graphing with the First Derivative Mean Value Theorem for Continuous Functions 1 Answer Jim H Dec 3, 2017 Solve #f'(x) = (f(1)-f(-1))/(1-(-1)# in the interval #(-1,1)#. Explanation: #f'(x) = 24x+8# #(f(1)-f(-1))/(1-(-1)) = (28-12)/(1-(-1))= 14/2 = 7# #24+8 = 7# at #x = -1/24# There is only one value that works for #c#, #c = -1/24# Answer link Related questions What is the Mean Value Theorem for continuous functions?
