Problem

Let h(x)=5sin⁡(2x)+xh(x)=5\sin(2x)+x be defined on the interval [0,2π][0,2\pi]. (a) Compute the average rate of change of hh over [0,2π][0,2\pi]. (b) Solve h′(x)=mh'(x)=m, where mm is the average rate from part (a), and list every solution cc in (0,2π)(0,2\pi). (c) Determine the total number of such values cc and explain, using properties of h′(x)h'(x), why no additional solutions occur in (0,2π)(0,2\pi).
