Question
A function $f$ that is differentiable on the interval (0,2) but does not satisfy the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem on the interval [0,2].
Step 1
First, recall the statement of the Mean Value Theorem (MVT): If a function is continuous on the closed interval [a, b] and differentiable on the open interval (a, b), then there exists a point c in the interval (a, b) such that the derivative of the function at c Show more…
