Consider the function f(x) = 2x° – 15x? – 36x + 8 on the interval [– 5, 9]. Find the average or mean %3D slope of the function on this interval. By the Mean Value Theorem, we know there exists a c in the open interval ( – 5, 9) such that f'(c) is equal to this mean slope. For this problem, there are two values of c that work. The smaller one is and the larger one is
