2. a. f(x) = (x+2)/(x +4). Use the Mean Value Theorem on the interval [0, 4] to find all values of x in the interval (0, 4) such that the value of the first derivative of f at those points is (f(b) – f(a))/(b – a). b. For the interval [-5, 0], (b) – f(a))/(b – a)=f(0) – f(-5))/(0 – (-5)) = (½ – 3)/(0 + 5) = -2 but, since the first derivative of f(x) is always positive, nowhere on that interval does the first derivative of f(x) = -½. Thus the Mean Value Theorem does not hold for f(x) on this interval. Why?
