Determine whether the Mean Value Theorem applies to the function G(x)=on[-6, 1]. If it applies, find all possible values of c as in the conclusion of the theorem. If the theorem does not apply,state the reason.

Notice that the function has a discontinuiti at x = -5, because it makes the denominator be 0.

Therefore, the Mean Value Theorem does not apply, becaus the function is not continuous over the given interval.
