md"""Recall the mean value theorem:

Let $f(x)$ be a function that is continuous on $[a,b]$ and differentiable on $(a,b)$.

Then there is a number $c$ in between $a,b$ such that:

$$f'(c) = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$$.

This means that there is a point with a derivative equal to the slope between the boundary points. 

Let's take the following function:

$$f(x) = x^3+2x-x \text{ on } [-1,2]$$"""

md""" By the mean value theorem:

$$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}= \frac{(10)-(-2)}{2-(-1)} = 4 = f'(c)$$

for some $c$ in $(-1,2)$.

With some algebra and rearranging, we find 

$$c = \frac{-4+\sqrt{76}}{6}= 0.7863$$.
