Step 1
The function f(x) = x is a straight line passing through the origin with a slope of 1. This line will pass through the points (-2, -2) and (2, 2) in the viewing rectangle [-3, 3] by [-5, 5]. Show more…

(a) In the viewing rectangle $[-3,3]$ by $[-5,5],$ graph the function $f(x)=x^{3}-2 x$ and its secant line through the points $(-2,-4)$ and $(2,4)$ . Use the graph to estimate the x-coordinates of the points where the tangent line is parallel to the secant line. (b) Find the exact values of the numbers c that satisfy the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem for the interval $[-2,2]$ and compare with your answers to part (a)
