Question: Consider the following function and closed interval. f ( x ) = x 3 - 3 x + 3 , [ - 2 , 2

Consider the following function and closed interval.
f(x)=x3-3x+3,[-2,2]
Is f continuous on the closed interval [-2,2]?
Yes, it does not matter if f is continuous or differentiable; every function satisfies the mean value theorem.
Yes, f is continuous on -2,2 and differentiable on (-2,2) since polynomials are continuous and differentiable on R.
No,f is not continuous on -2,2.
No,f is continuous on -2,2 but not differentiable on (-2,2).
There is not enough information to verify if this function satisfies the mean value theorem.
If f is differentiable on the open interval (-2,2), find f'(x).(If it is not differentiable on the open interval, enter DNE.)
f'(x)=
Find f(-2) and f(2).(If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
f(-2)=
f(2)=
Find f(b)-f(a)b-a for [a,b]=[-2,2].(If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
f(b)-f(a)b-a=
Determine whether the mean value theorem can be applied to f on the closed interval [-2,2].(Select all that apply.)
Yes, the Mean Value Theorem can be applied.
No, because f is not continuous on the closed interval [-2,2].
No, because f is not differentiable on the open interval (-2,2).
No, because f(b)-f(a)b-a is not defined.
If the mean value theorem can be applied, find all values of c that satisfy the conclusion of the mean value theorem. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If it does not satisfy the hypotheses, enter DNE).
