For a function that is continuous on [a,b][a,b] and differentiable on (a,b)(a,b), which statement is always true? a) f′(x)=f(b)−f(a)b−a for every x∈(a,b)\displaystyle f'(x)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\text{ for every }x\in(a,b) b) f′(a)=f(b)−f(a)b−a\displaystyle f'(a)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} c) There exists c∈(a,b) such that f′(c)=f(b)−f(a)b−a\displaystyle \text{There exists }c\in(a,b)\text{ such that }f'(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} d) There exists c∈[a,b] such that f′(c)=f(b)−f(a)b−a\displaystyle \text{There exists }c\in[a,b]\text{ such that }f'(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}
