Profit is the difference between revenue and cost. The revenue, in dollars, of a company that makes skateboards can be modeled by the polynomial 2x3 + 30x – 130. The cost, in dollars, of producing the skateboards can be modeled by 2x3 – 3x – 520. The variable x represents the number of skateboards sold.

Does the function satisfy the hypotheses of the mean value theorem on the given interval? f(x) = 4x^2 + 3x + 4, [−1, 1] no, f is continuous on [−1, 1] but not differentiable on (−1, 1). no, f is not continuous on [−1, 1]. yes, f is continuous on [−1, 1] and differentiable on (−1, 1) since polynomials are continuous and differentiable on . there is not enough information to verify if this function satisfies the mean value theorem. yes, it does not matter if f is continuous or differentiable; every function satisfies the mean value theorem.
