The area of a rectangle is (x4 + 4x3 + 3x2 – 4x – 4), and the length of the rectangle is (x3 + 5x2 + 8x + 4). if area = length × width, what is the width of the rectangle?

44

step-by-step explanation:

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
