Two men, 400 feet apart, observe a balloon between them; it is in the same vertical plane as they are. the respective angles of elevation of the balloon are observed by the men to be 75°20' and 49°30'. find x rounded to the nearest whole number.

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
