Solution
The question is asking for the average value of the function f(x) = 3x^2 + 2x over the interval [0,2] and the value(s) of c guaranteed by the Mean Value Theorem for integrals.
Step 1: Find the average value of the function over the interval [0,2]. The average value of a function f(x) over the interval [a,b] is given by the formula:
f_avg = (1/(b-a)) * ∫ from a to b of f(x) dx
In this case, a = 0, b = 2, and f(x) = 3x^2 + 2x. So we have:
f_avg = (1/2) * ∫ from 0 to 2 of (3x^2 + 2x) dx
To evaluate the integral, we use the power rule for integration, which states that the integral of x^n dx is (1/(n+1))x^(n+1). Applying this rule, we get:
∫ from 0 to 2 of (3x^2 + 2x) dx = [x^3 + x^2] from 0 to 2 = 8 + 4 = 12
So f_avg = (1/2) * 12 = 6.
Step 2: Find the value(s) of c guaranteed by the Mean Value Theorem for integrals. The Mean Value Theorem for integrals states that there exists at least one number c in the interval [a,b] such that f(c) = f_avg. In other words, we need to solve the equation 3c^2 + 2c = 6 for c.
This is a quadratic equation, which we can solve using the quadratic formula c = [-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)] / (2a). In this case, a = 3, b = 2, and c = -6, so we have:
c = [-2 ± sqrt((2)^2 - 43(-6))] / (23) c = [-2 ± sqrt(4 + 72)] / 6 c = [-2 ± sqrt(76)] / 6 c = [-2 ± 2sqrt(19)] / 6 c = [-1 ± sqrt(19)] / 3
So the correct answer is B. f_avg = 6, c = (-1 - sqrt(19))/3 and c = (-1 + sqrt(19))/3.

EXAMPLE 2 Since f(x) = 4 + x2 is continuous on the interval [−4, 2], the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals says there is a number c in [−4, 2] such that2−4(4 + x2) dx = f(c)[2 − (−4)].In this particular case we can find c explicitly. Using this example, we find that fave = 8, so the value of c satisfiesf(c) = fave = 8.Therefore4 + c2 = soc2 = .So in this case there happen to be two numbers c = ± 2 in the interval [−4, 2] that work in the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals.
