The mean value theorem is used to link the average rate of change and the derivative of a function.

The value of V is 8.

The givenparameters are:

Mean value theorem states that:

If [a,b] and

(a,b),

Then there is a point c in (a,b), such that:

From the question, we understand that: f is differentiable

This means that:

avethat:

The equation becomes

Cross mltiply

o both side

From the question, we have:

By comparisons;

Hence, the value of V is 8.
