Find all numbers c [4,12] for which the derivative is equal to the slope of the secant line connecting the function endpoints. If there is more than one such number c, use a comma to separate your answers. Round to the nearest thousandth. If there is no such number c, type "does not exist" in the entry box.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]f'(x) =\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x-3}}[/tex]

By MVT, there exist a number c on [4, 12] such that

[tex]f'(c) = \frac{f(12)-f(4)}{12-4}[/tex]

[tex]f(12) = 3, and, f(4) = 1, hence f'(c) = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

therefore,

[tex]\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x-3}} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Solve this equation, you have x =1.

However, this is out of the given interval. Hence does not exist
