HI!!

OpenStudy (royalranger):

The function continuous? Yes because it is a polynomial. Therefore you can differentiate.

OpenStudy (misty1212):

what is \(f(-3)\)?

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

can you just show me all please ??? in one organized [ost?

OpenStudy (royalranger):

Find the derivative and set it equal to (f(1)-f(-3))/1-(-3)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you need to check first if \[f(-3)=f(1)\] if it is not,, then you

OpenStudy (misty1212):

cannot use Rolles theorem

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

no its not fit

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

so D?? right?? ma

OpenStudy (misty1212):

no actually i think they are equal that is why my first question was, what is \(f(-3)\) ?

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@misty1212 so what are you saying??

OpenStudy (royalranger):

No, Rolles theorem can be applied. Just like i said in my first post. Therefore C and D are no longer options.

OpenStudy (misty1212):

i am asking if you know what \(f(-3)\) is that is all

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

sometimes A

OpenStudy (royalranger):

what

OpenStudy (royalranger):

@misty1212 He's all yours.

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

A?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

hopefully \(f(-3)\) is a number, not a letter

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

??@misty1212

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@misty1212

OpenStudy (misty1212):

i don't know how else to ask the question \[f(x)=x^2+2x-1\] the question is, what you need first, is to find \[f(-3)\]

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@misty1212

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

A or B??

OpenStudy (misty1212):

hint \[f(-3)=(-3)^2+2\times (-3)+1\]

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

A!

OpenStudy (hafeda):

ur answer is b -1

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[f(-3)=A\]?? it is a number, not a letter

OpenStudy (royalranger):

@iwanttogotostanford Your username says that you want to go to Stanford University, but you dont even want to do the work that will get you there. Most of the people here want to help, not do the work for you and give you the answer.

OpenStudy (misty1212):

stop worrying about letters, or even the answer you need to understand what the question is asking first before you can begin, you need to find boty \(f(-3)\) and \(f(1)\) if you cannot do that, you cannot proceed

OpenStudy (hafeda):

yes @misty1212 is correct, u have understand the process, and the condition for rolle's and why and how is works
