Consider the function
By the Mean Value Theorem, we know there exists at least one
For this problem, there are two values of
The smaller one is
and the larger one is
Final Answer: The mean slope of the function on the interval
Step 1 :Consider the function
Step 2 :By the Mean Value Theorem, we know there exists at least one
Step 3 :To find the mean slope, we first need to calculate the function values at
Step 4 :The function values at
Step 5 :After finding the mean slope, we can set the derivative of the function equal to this mean slope and solve for
Step 6 :The derivative of the function is
Step 7 :Final Answer: The mean slope of the function on the interval
