Question
Does the function satisfy the hypotheses of the mean value theorem on the given interval? Give reasons for your answer.
x² - x
- 6sxs -5
f(x) =
2x2 - 4x - 40
- 5<xs - 4
Choose the correct answer below.
A. No, f(x) is continuous at every point in [- 6, – 4] but is not differentiable at every point in ( - 6, – 4).
B. Yes, f(x) is continuous at every point in (- 6, – 4) and differentiable at every point in [- 6, – 4].
c. Yes, f(x) is continuous at every point in [-6, - 4] and differentiable at every point in (- 6, – 4).
D. No, f(x) is differentiable at every point in (- 6, – 4) but is not continuous at every point in [- 6, – 4).
