Application of derivativesConsider the function f(x) = 2 - 5x² on the interval [ - 3, 7].
The average rate of change of f(x) on this interval is:
f(7) - f(-3) / 7-(-3) =
The Mean Value Theorem says that there is at least one number c in the open interval (,) so that f'(c) equals this average rate of change. Find the value(s) of c that work for f(x) on ( - 3, 7):
