Question: Consider the function f(x)=x 3 -2x on the closed interval [2,6] a.) Find the exact value of the slope of the scant line connecting (2,f(2))

Consider the function f(x)=x3-2x on the closed interval [2,6]

a.) Find the exact value of the slope of the scant line connecting (2,f(2)) and (6,f(6)).

m=

b.) By the Mean Value Theorem, there exists c in (2,6) so that m=f'(c). Find all values of such c in (2,6). Give exact values and if there is more than one solution please separate them with a comma.
