Exercise - Avg Value Examples

This document provides 5 practice problems for calculating average values and applying the Mean Value Theorem. The problems involve finding the average value of functions over given intervals, and identifying values that satisfy the Mean Value Theorem condition that the average value equals the function value at a point within the interval. Rectangles with the same area as the region under the graph are also to be sketched for two of the problems.
