For each graph of f in Exercises 49–52, explain why f satisfies the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval [a, b] and approximate any values c ∈ (a, b) that satisfy the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem.

For each graph of f in Exercises 49–52, explain why f satisfies the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval [a, b] and approximate any values c ∈ (a, b) that satisfy the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem.

Sketch the graph of a function f with the following properties:
f is continuous and defined on R;
f(0) = 5;
f(−2) = −3 and f '(−2) = 0;
f '(1) does not exist;
f' is positive only on (−2, 1).
For each set of sign charts in Exercises 53–62, sketch a possible graph of f.

Determine whether or not each function f in Exercises 53–60 satisfies the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval [a, b]. For those that do, use derivatives and algebra to find the exact values of all c ∈ (a, b) that satisfy the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem.
