f(x) = x^2 – 3x + 1, find all the values of c on the interval (0, 1) that satisfy the Mean Value Theorem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rizwan_uet can u help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know mean value theorem???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

. [f(b) - (a)]/(b - a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now evaluate this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i'm having trouble plugging in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here a = 0 and b = 1 can you do it now???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its f(1) - (0)/ 1 - 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find f(1) and f(0) by simply putting 1 and 0 in f(x) = x^2 – 3x + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so f(x) = 1^2 - 3(1) + 1 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yap

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay its -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now find f(0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay its 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the values are -1, and 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now what will this result in??? f(1) - (0)/ 1 - 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no?
