Alice and Briana each participate in a 5-kilometer race. Alice's distance covered, in kilometers, after t minutes can be modeled by the equation a(t)=t4. Briana's progress is modeled by the equation b(t)=2t+1. I need to know why Alice starts first
thank you for the help

Does the function satisfy the hypotheses of the mean value theorem on the given interval? f(x) = 4x^2 + 3x + 4, [−1, 1] no, f is continuous on [−1, 1] but not differentiable on (−1, 1). no, f is not continuous on [−1, 1]. yes, f is continuous on [−1, 1] and differentiable on (−1, 1) since polynomials are continuous and differentiable on . there is not enough information to verify if this function satisfies the mean value theorem. yes, it does not matter if f is continuous or differentiable; every function satisfies the mean value theorem.
