I. Extreme Value Theorem
II. Mean Value Theorem
III. Intermediate Value Theorem for Derivatives
A) I only
B) II only
C) III only
D) Either I or III
E) Either II or III

The Mean Value Theorem is one of the most important theoretical tools in Calculus. It states that if f(x) is defined and continuous on the interval [a,b] and differentiable on (a,b), then there is at least one number c in the interval (a,b) (that is a < c < b) such that 
f'(c) = ( f(b) - f(a) ) / b - a= 642 - 42 / 1.5 h= 400 mphso the answer B
