find all values of c which may exist that satisfy the conclusion of the mean value theorem for derivatives, given f(x)=x^(2/3) over the interval [-1,8]

Question

anonymous · Answer

This is a very simple equation, you must first use the theorem for derivatives, do you remember what that is?

anonymous · Answer

yes! you multiply exponent to the coefficient and subtract one right?

anonymous · Answer

that is correct! Now how would that set up for this equation?

anonymous · Answer

um 2/3x^(-1/3) ?

anonymous · Answer

good job! for this equation you are trying to find the values of c, and to do this you have to use the girth theorem, do you remember that?

anonymous · Answer

that's wrong.
