Given that the function f(x) = x^3 is
differentiable in the interval (−2,2) us the mean
value theorem to find the value of x for which the
tangent to the curve is parrallel to the chord
through the points (−2,8) and (2,8).
Find the maximum and minimum
of the expression 𝚺_(i=1) ^n a_i x_i with
𝚺_(i=1) ^n (x_i −b_i )^2 =c^2 , where a_i , b_i and c are
constants.
