Please look in your text book for this problem Statement

(a)

The function is .

Find the secant line passing through the points  and .

The equation of a secant line passing through two points is 

The equation of secant line is .

(b)

Mean value Theorem :

If  is continuous on  and differentiable on open interval , then there exists a number  in  such that .

The function  is continuous on the interval  and differentiable on the interval .

So there exists a number  in  such that .

The function is .

Apply derivative on each side with respect to .

The value of  in the interval  is .

(c)

Find the equation of tangent line passing through  and whose slope is parallel to slope of the secant line.

The secant line equation is .

Compare the above equation with the slope intercept form .

The slope of the secant line is .

Point slope form of the equation is .

Therefore the equation of tangent line is .

(d)

Graph the function and tangent line .

(a) The equation of secant line is .

(b) The value of  in the interval  is .

(c) The equation of tangent line is .

(d)
