Simplifying each side of the equation results in
x2-3x -4 = x2 - 5x +6.
Find the solution:
X-3
3x
x -

3x

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.

the graph is negative for all real values of x where   -6 < x < -2.

step-by-step explanation:

this refers to the values of f(x) in the area below the x-axis.
