let f(x) = 1/x-2 Can we use the mean value theorem to say the equation f'(x) = has a solution where 1 < x < 4?
a. No, since the function is not differentiable on that interval.
b. No, since the average rate of change of over the interval 1 < x < 4 isn't equal to 1/2
c. Yes, both conditions for using the mean value theorem have been met Report a problem
