Consider the function f(x) = 2x° – 5x on the interval – 5, 5|. Find the average or mean slope of the
function on this interval.
By the Mean Value Theorem, we know there exists at least one c in the open interval (– 5, 5) 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
