Expert Solution
Step 1

The given function is

f(x)=(x-3)for the interval (1,4)
Step 2

To Show: There is no value of x=c in the interval (1,4) and why does this not contradict the Mean Value Theorem.

Step 3

The given function is not continuous at x=3, therefore the statement of Mean Value Theorem are not met for the open interval (1,4), which implies that the function is not continuous in open interval (1,4)  and is not differentiable in closed interval [1,4].

Differentiate the given function, with respect to x,

f(x)=-2 (x-3)
steps
