Let be continuous and differentiable on . Darboux's theorem on derivatives states that:

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. satisfies the intermediate value property on

  1. Step 1: Darboux's theorem (the intermediate value theorem for derivatives) applies to any derivative function, even if is not continuous. It states that if is differentiable on an interval, then takes all values between and for any points . **Answer: satisfies the intermediate value property on . Why not the others:** " must be continuous everywhere on the interval" is false; derivatives can have jump-free discontinuities (e.g. ); " is strictly monotonic throughout the domain" derivatives of oscillating functions fluctuate and need not be monotonic; " must be bounded on the open interval" derivatives can be unbounded near endpoints (e.g. near ).
