<u>Answer:</u>
The correct answer option is D. 
.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given the following expression:
Assuming that 
, we are to find its simplified product.
Answer:
a = -5
b = -1
m = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Piecewise function:
f(x)= -5, x=0
f(x)= −x^2+3x+a, 0<x<2
f(x)= mx + b 2≤x≤3
The mean value theorem is applicable if f(x) is continuous on the entire closed interval [0;3] and differentiable on the entire closed interval [0;3].
To satisfied that at x = 0
:
−x^2+3x+a = -5
Then, a = -5
Derivative of −x^2+3x-5 is -2x + 3 and derivative of mx + b is m, at x = 2:
-2(2) + 3 = m
-1 = m
Replacing the functions at x = 2
:
−x^2+3x-5 = -x + b
−(2)^2+3*2-5 = -2 + b
-3 + 2 = b
-1 = b
