You are given the following information about the function f(x):
i) There is an x-value x* approximately equal to 0.8 such that f(x*)=0
ii) f(0.7) = C is negative
iii) m1 < f'(x) < m2 for 0.7 < x < 0.9 where m1 and m2 are positive constants
Apple the Mean Value Theorem to f(x) on the interval [0.7,x*] to find upper and lower bounds (in terms of m1, m2 and C) for x*
I've been really struggling to understand the MVT and have been at this question for a while... i just can't seen to work it out though and end up going round in circles I have a test coming up so i really want to try to get my head around the MVT.
