Example Check that the hypothesis for the MVT is true for the function on the interval [0.5, 2].
Example Check that the hypothesis for the MVT is true for the function on the interval [0.5, 2]. f(x) is not continuous at x = 0!
Example Check that the hypothesis for the MVT is true for the function on the interval [0.5, 2]. f(x) is not continuous at x = 0! That’s okay because 0 is not in [0.5, 2]!
Example Check that the hypothesis for the MVT is true for the function on the interval [0.5, 2]. f(x) is not continuous at x = 0! That’s okay because 0 is not in [0.5, 2]! f(x) is not differentiable at x = 0, again, that’s okay!
