1) Average slope m = [f(1) - f(- 1)]/(1 - (- 1)] = (- 1 + 11)/2 = 5
2) f'(x) = 4x + 5; f'(c) = 4c + 5 = 5; 4c = 0; c = 0

asked 03/22/22Let 𝑓(𝑥)=2𝑥2+5𝑥−8
1) Find the average slope of the function 𝑓 on the interval [−1,1]
2) Verify the Mean Value Theorem by finding a number 𝑐 in (−1,1) such that 𝑓′(𝑐)=𝑚
I got 3 for the average slope is that not right? I can't figure out the second part.

Substitute 3 for f'(x) and solve for x.
