Expert Solution
Step 1: Define the problem.

Suppose that f is a differentiable function and straight f apostrophe open parentheses straight x close parentheses less or equal than 4 on interval open square brackets negative 5 comma space 2 close square brackets.

If straight f open parentheses 2 close parentheses equals 6, then to determine the smallest possible value of straight f open parentheses negative 5 close parentheses.
