For each set of sign charts in Exercises 53–62, sketch a possible graph of f.

For each set of sign charts in Exercises 53–62, sketch a possible graph of f.

Restate the Mean Value Theorem so that its conclusion has to do with tangent lines.
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.
Use a sign chart for to determine the intervals on which each function is increasing or decreasing. Then verify your algebraic answers with graphs from a calculator or graphing utility.
