Problem

Let f(x)=∣x−2∣f(x)=|x-2| on the interval [0,4][0,4]. Which statement correctly describes the applicability of the Mean Value Theorem on this interval? a) The theorem applies because ff is continuous on [0,4][0,4]; differentiability is not required. b) The theorem does not apply because ff fails to be differentiable at the endpoints x=0x=0 and x=4x=4. c) The theorem does not apply because ff is not differentiable at x=2x=2, an interior point of the interval. d) The theorem applies if the point x=2x=2 is removed from the interval since the theorem is concerned only with the open interval.
