Mean Value Theorem: If F is continuous on the closed interval [a, b] and differentiable on the open interval (a, b) then there must exist at least one number c in (a, b) for which F'(c) = F(b)-F(a) b-a In problems 2 and 3 do the following: (a) Apply the Mean Value Theorem to the function: F(x) = x³ - 3x on the indicated interval I to find all numbers, c, in the interior of I, which satisfy the conclusion of this theorem. I.e., find all numbers e interior to I for which the average change in Fover I is equal to the instantaneous rate of change in F at c. (b) Sketch a graph of the function y = F(x) on the interval I and interpret your results from part (a) geometrically in terms of the appropriate tangent and secant lines to your graphs. 2. I [-1, +2] 3. I = [-1, +1]
