**Title: Applying the Mean Value Theorem to Quadratic Functions**

**Course Information:**
- 2021 Fall CRN 45556 Math 2413-10 Remote 10-1140

**Homework Assignment: 4.2**
- Question 4, Part 1 of 4
- HW Score: 83.33%, 5 of 6 points
- Points: 0 of 1

**Student Name:**
- Zeltzin Soriano

**Problem Description:**
Consider the quadratic function \( f(x) = Ax^2 + Bx + C \), where \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) are real numbers, and \( A \neq 0 \). Show that when the Mean Value Theorem is applied to \( f \) on the interval \([a, b]\), the number \( c \) guaranteed by the theorem is the midpoint of the interval.

**Instructions:**
Apply the Mean Value Theorem to \( f(x) \) on \([a, b]\). First, find 

\[
\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b-a}
\]

**Solution Space:**
A box is provided to enter the solution for 

\[
\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b-a}
\] 

Complete this problem using the definition of the Mean Value Theorem and demonstrate the result that the value of \( c \) is the midpoint of \([a, b]\).
