Can the mean value theorum be applied to the function f(x)=1/x^2 on the interval [-2, 1]? explain.

No, it can not be applied.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 1/x²

f(x) is a polynomial that is not continuous

As,

f(x) = 1/0 is undefines

Secondly, it is not differentiable (i.e. the derivative does not exists on the interval given)

Derivative of this function

f'(x) = (1)x^-2

       = -2x^(-2-1)

       = -2x^(-3)

       = -2/x³

      =  -2/x³

f'(0) = -2/0 is undefined

Thus, mean value theorem can not be applied.

step-by-step explanation:

ok so im not 100% sure but you would start by adding 5.1t and 1.9t beacuse they have the same variable. that is 7t.   then add -3.6 + 1.2 which is -2.4

so then keep that as -2.4 + 7t. i apologize if this is incorrect. best luck on your test < 3
