If the function f(x)= x^2-4 satisfies the Lagrange's mean value theorem on [2,4] , then the value of C is
Options
- A2 3
- B-2 3
- C6
- D- 6
Correct answer
C. 6
Step-by-step solution
f(x)= x^2-4 f^ (x)= x x^2-4 f^ (C)= f(4)-f(2) 4-2 for some C [2,4] C C^2-4 = 2 3 -0 2 = 3 C^2=3 (C^2-4 ) 2 C^2=12 C^2= 6
