Question: Consider the following function and closed interval. f ( x ) = x 3 - 3 x + 5 , [ - 2 , 2

Consider the following function and closed interval.
f(x)=x3-3x+5,[-2,2]
Isf continuous on the closed interval -2,2?
Yes, it does not matter iffis continuous or differentiable; every function satisfies
the mean value theorem.
Yes, fis continuous on-2,2 and differentiable on(-2,2) since polynomials are
continuous and differentiable onR.
No,fis not continuous on-2,2.
No,fis continuous on-2,2-2,2fis differentiable on the open interval (-2,2), find f'(x).(Ifitis not differentiable on
the open interval, enter DNE.)
f'(x)=
Find f(-2) and f(2).(Ifan answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
f(-2)=
f(2)=
Find f(b)-f(a)b-a for [a,b]=[-2,2].(Ifan answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
f(b)-f(a)b-a=
Determine whether the mean value theorem can be applied tofon the closed interval
-2,2.(Select all that apply.)
Yes, the Mean Value Theorem can be applied.
No, because fis not continuous on the closed interval -2,2.
No, because f-2,2No, because f(b)-f(a)b-ais not defined.
If the mean value theorem can be applied, find all values ofc that satisfy the conclusion
of the mean value theorem. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. Ifit does
not satisfy the hypotheses, enter DNE).
