Consider the function f(x) 1 on the interval 1, 10|. Find the average or mean slope of the function on this interval. By the Mean Value Theorem, we know there exists a c in the open interval (1, 10) such that f'(c) is equal to this mean slope. For this problem, there is only one c that works. Find it.
