Consider the function f(x) = 2√x+1 on the interval [4, 7]. Find the average or mean slope o the function on this interval, to 3 decimal places. By the Mean Value Theorem, we know there exists a c in the open interval (4, 7) such that f'(c) equal to this mean slope. For this problem, there is only one c that works. Find it, and round to 3 decimal places.
