Q: Which of the following is the correct formula for the first derivative of $$f(x)$$ using the definition of the derivative?

$$f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}$$

Question 1

Suppose $$f(x) is $$continuous on $$[a, b]$$ and $$f(a) \u003c N \u003c f(b). $$According to the Intermediate Value Theorem, which statement must be true?

Accepted Answer

There exists $$c in$$ $$(a, b)$$ such that $$f(c) = N.$$

Question 2
