Exercise 13–14 Find the number that satisfies the conclusion of the
Mean Value Theorem on the given interval. Graph the function, the
secant line through the endpoints, and the tangent line at (c,f(c)). Are
the secant line and the tangent line parallel ?

13. f ( x )= √ x ,[0 ; 4 ] , domain x ∈ ¿

f(x) is continuous on [0,4].
f(x) is differentiable on (0,4) .

f ( x )=
2 √x

So according to the Mean Value Thereom : c ∈ ( 0 , 4 )

f(c)=1 . Therefore we have (c;f(c))=(1;1) . we can graph the function

As we can see on the graph , the tangent line at (c;f(c)) and the
secant line through the endpoints are parallel .

14. f ( x )=e−x
❑ , [0 ; 2]
 f ' ( x )=− ⅇ− x

We can see that f(x) is continuous on [0,2] and differentiable on (0,2)

So the function have met the requirements of the Mean Value
Theorem . There is a number c ϵ ( 0 ; 2 ) .

c 0.8386
Type equation here .

f(c) 0.4323 . Therefore , we have (c;f(c )) = (0.8386,0.4323)

As we can see on the graph , the tangent line

at (c;f(c)) and the secant line through the endpoints is parallel .
