Geometrically, the mean value theorem says some tangent to the curve is
Athrough the origin
Bparallel to the chord
Cperpendicular to the chord
Dparallel to the x-axis
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. parallel to the chord
The slope f'(c) equals the slope of the secant joining the endpoints, so the two lines are parallel.
