Step-by-step explanation:

it is just a line covering all values smaller than -8 (that means left of -8).

so, it is a line starting at -8 and going all the way to the left (to the arrow on the left). and you make an empty (hollow) dot at -8, because the value -8 is not included (otherwise it would be p <= -8, and it would be a filled dot at -8).

<h3>Answer: c = 7/4</h3>

================================================

Work Shown:

Compute the function value at the endpoints

$f(x) = \sqrt{4-x}\\\\f(-5) = \sqrt{4-(-5)} = 3\\\\f(4) = \sqrt{4-4} = 0\\\\$

With a = -5 and b = 4, we have

$f'(c) = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\\\\f'(c) = \frac{f(4)-f(-5)}{4-(-5)}\\\\f'(c) = \frac{0-3}{9}\\\\f'(c) = -\frac{1}{3}\\\\$

So,

$f(x) = \sqrt{4-x}\\\\f'(x) = -\frac{1}{2\sqrt{4-x}}\\\\f'(c) = -\frac{1}{3}\\\\-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{4-c}} = -\frac{1}{3}\\\\$

Use algebra to solve for c

$-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{4-c}} = -\frac{1}{3}\\\\\frac{1}{2\sqrt{4-c}} = \frac{1}{3}\\\\3 = 2\sqrt{4-c}\\\\2\sqrt{4-c} = 3\\\\\sqrt{4-c} = \frac{3}{2}\\\\4-c = \frac{9}{4}\\\\c = 4-\frac{9}{4}\\\\c = \frac{16-9}{4}\\\\c = \frac{7}{4}\\\\$
