Question
Decide if the statement is true or false, and select the correct explanation.
If a < b and f' (x) is positive on [a, b]thenf(a) <f(b).
This statement is true using the Mean Value Theorem.
The statement is false. We cannot apply the Increasing Function Theorem becausef' (x) # 0 on [a, b].
This statement is true using Rolle's Theorem.
O This statement is true using the Constant Function Theorem.
This statement is true using the Increasing Function Theorem.
