Given the function #f(x)=(-x^2+9)/(4x)#, how do you determine whether f satisfies the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on the interval [1,3] and find the c?
The only hypothesis required by the mean value theorem is that
As:
We can calculate the definite integral as:
#int_1^3 (9-x^2)/(4x)dx = int_1^3 (9/(4x)-x/4)dx=[9/4lnx-x^2/8]_1^3= 9/4ln3-9/8+1/8=9/4ln3-1#

I will assume that you are referring to the Mean Value Theorem for Derivatives.
Therefore this function satisfies the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on this interval.

To determine if the function ( f(x) = \frac{{-x^2 + 9}}{{4x}} ) satisfies the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on the interval ([1, 3]) and find ( c ), you need to check two conditions:
- Continuity: Verify if ( f(x) ) is continuous on the interval ([1, 3]).
- Differentiability: Confirm if ( f(x) ) is differentiable on the interval ((1, 3)).
Once you've confirmed both conditions, you can find ( c ) by applying the Mean Value Theorem, which states that if a function ( f ) is continuous on ([a, b]) and differentiable on ((a, b)), then there exists a ( c ) in ((a, b)) such that ( f'(c) = \frac{{f(b) - f(a)}}{{b - a}} ).
After verifying the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem, to find ( c ), calculate ( f(1) ) and ( f(3) ), then find the derivative ( f'(x) ). Finally, use the formula ( f'(c) = \frac{{f(3) - f(1)}}{{3 - 1}} ) to solve for ( c ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
