calc help!
that's not very descriptive :/
it helps if one knows what may be the issue is, some folks likely do know but an ambiguous posting message, doesn't indicate them so
i got Yes, x=1 @DanJS @Loser66
Why is it x = 1? You need to show work, as I've told you many times before.
What did you do to get that value?
What is the Mean Value Theorem? I mean what it say?
Look at the bottom of that calc sheet page 5 i linked to you.. it shows the definition there
The point x=# , will be the average value of the function on the given interval [0,root3]
what point?
The mean value theorem says that if you have a continuous function over an interval [a,b], that there will be a value x=c, in the interval, where f(c) will be the average value of the function f(x) over the interval
oh yeah i have the definition
remember a couple probs back, we calculated the average value by evaluating an integral?
yeah the like first question
at a value x=a, the function value f(a) will be the average value in that shaded region.
integrate the function first... what is that? \[\int\limits [3-x^2]dx = \]
3x-x^3/3
right, now evaluate the definite integral over the integral [0 root3]
The average value f(c) will be \[f(c) = \frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{3}-0 }\int\limits_{0}^{\sqrt{3}}[3-x^2]dx\]
and do i solve that?
basically what this means is that there is a value c, in between those two end points [a,b], where the tangent line will have the same slope as the secant line connecting the points a and b...
