Consider the function f(x) = 2x³- 6x² - 48x + 5 on the interval [-6, 7]. Find the average or mean slope
of the function on this interval.
By the Mean Value Theorem, we know there exists a c in the open interval (-6, 7) such that f'(c) is equal to
this mean slope. For this problem, there are two values of c that work.
