Generalized Mean Value Theorem Suppose the functions f and g are continuous on ⌈a, b⌉ and differentiable on (a, b), where g(a) ≠ g(b). Then there is a point c in (a, b) at which
This result is known as the Generalized (or Cauchy’s) Mean Value Theorem.
- a. If g(x) = x, then show that the Generalized Mean Value Theorem reduces to the Mean Value Theorem.
- b. Suppose f(x) = x2 − l, g(x) = 4x + 2, and [a, b] = [0, 1]. Find a value of c satisfying the Generalized Mean Value Theorem.

- If a functionfis increasing on (a,b) and decreasing on (b,c) , then what can be said about the local extremum offon (a,c) ?arrow_forwardWhat is the purpose of the Intermediate Value Theorem?arrow_forwardDetermine if the statemment is true or false. If the statement is false, then correct it and make it true. If the function f increases on the interval -,x1 and decreases on the interval x1,, then fx1 is a local minimum value.arrow_forward
