Does the function satisfy the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval? Give reasons for your answer.
-3sxs-1
- X
f(x)
2x2
- 3x 3
-1 <xs1
Choose the correct answer.
A. No, f(x) is differentiable at every point in (-3,1) but is not continuous at every point in [-3,1].
B. No, f(x) is continuous at every point in [- 3,1] but is not differentiable at every point in (-3,1)
C. Yes, f(x) is continuous at every point in (-3,1) and differentiable at every point in [-3,1]
D. Yes, f(x) is continuous at every point in [-3,1] and differentiable at every point in (-3,1).
