Let f(x)=x3−3x2+2f(x)=x^{3}-3x^{2}+2 be defined on the interval [1,4][1,4]. Answer the following questions. a. (i) Compute the average rate of change of ff on [1,4][1,4]. b. (ii) Find all real numbers cc in (1,4)(1,4) for which f′(c)f'(c) equals the average rate obtained in part (i). c. (iii) Verify that every value of cc obtained in part (ii) indeed lies within (1,4)(1,4).
