Question

Find the value or values of c that satisfy the equation
ƒ(b) - ƒ(a)/b - a = ƒ'(c)
in the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem for the functions and
intervals ƒ(x) = x + 1/x, [1/2, 2]

Expert Solution
Step 1

To find the value or values of c that satisfy the equation
fb-fab-a=f'c
in the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem for the functions and intervals

ƒ(x)=x+1x, 12, 2

Step 2

Differentiate fx with respect to x

f'x=1-1x2f'c=1-1c2
