a. Determine whether the Mean Value Theorem applies to the function f(x) = 5 - x^2 on the interval [-1,2]. b. If so, find the point(s) that are guaranteed to exist by the Mean Value Theorem. D. No, because the function is not continuous on the interval [-1,2], and is not differentiable on the interval (-1,2). b. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. The point(s) is/are x = (Simplify your answer. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) B. The Mean Value Theorem does not apply in this case.

Mean Value Theorem Consider the following functions on the given interval $[a, b]$ a. Determine whether the Mean Value Theorem applies to the following functions on the given interval $[a, b]$. b. If so, find the point(s) that are guaranteed to exist by the Mean Value Theorem. $$f(x)=\frac{1}{(x-1)^{2}} ;[0,2]$$
