I thought I had an answer but was wrong. Anybody?
My best guess would be f(c) = 4, assuming c = 2, but it's just a guess.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Can you imagine the power of an infinite number of Theremins, bringing down defenses, shattering eardrums.
Somehow "piercing" and "woo-woo-woo" don't quite go together in my mind.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The function f is differentiable on the interval 0 < x < 4. If f(1)=1 and f(3)=7, then for some 1 < c < 3, f'(c) must be equal to:
1, 2, 3, 4, or 6?
3. It's the mean value theorem: for some value on the interval, the slope must be equal to the average slope, which is (7-1)/(3-1) = 3.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Jon, that is just about the sweetest story ever. Even with the Tex Avery moments, just so damn sweet. Millions of congratulations all over again!

But fate had other plans and now we have two anniversaries to remember.
I tend to get around this problem by just not remembering them.

OK, there are an infininte number of functions that would fulfill that criteria. The function could be a straight line with slope of 2 3. If not, then say it is a function that has a slope of less than 2 3 for part of that interval. Then another part must have a slope of greater than two, and since it's differentiable then there must also be a point with a slope of 2 3 in there....

Argh!
I get the concept right but flunk on the basic math part!!!!
eta: I drew a little graph but made a mistake - I plotted f(1) = 3 for some reason.....

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Aww, that's just the sweetest story evah.

Why is FAQ girl called the FAQ girl, btw? Is it because Jon is the Master of the FAQ?
