The function is ,
.
(a)
\Graph :
\Sketch the function over
.
(b)
\The slope of the secant line through and
is
To find the secant line equation, use the point-slope form of line equation.
\The point - slope form of line equation : .
Consider one point is .
Graph :
\Sketch the function and secant line
.
(c)
\The function satisfy the condition for mean value theorem , therefore there exist at least one number in the
, such that
.
Apply derivative with respect to .
The values of are
and
.
is not in the domain
.
Therefore .
The point of tangency is .
.
The point of tangency is .
Slope of tangent . [Since secant line is parallel to tangent line]
The point - slope form of line equation is .
