If \(f:[a, b] \rightarrow[c, d]\) is a continuous and strictly increasing function, then \(\frac{d-c}{b-a}\) is

  1. A Value of the function at a point \(t \in(a, b)\)
  2. B Value of the function at \(t \in(a, b)\) such that \(f^{\prime}(t)=0\)
  3. C Slope of the tangent drawn to the curve \(y=f(t)\) at a point \(t \in(c, d)\)
  4. D Slope of the tangent drawn to the curve \(y=f(t)\) at a point \(t \in(a, b)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Slope of the tangent drawn to the curve \(y=f(t)\) at a point \(t \in(a, b)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(a)=c, f(b)=d\) \(\frac{d-c}{b-a} = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\) By Mean Value Theorem, there exists \(t \in (a, b)\) s.t. \(\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} = f'(t)\). This is the slope of the tangent drawn to the curve \(y=f(t)\) at a point \(t \in (a, b)\).
