SUMMARY
The Mean Value Theorem (MVT) is applied to the function f(x) = sin(x) over the interval [1, 1.5]. The calculation presented indicates that the value of c, which satisfies the MVT, is derived from the formula (f(b) - f(a)) / (b - a). The computed value of c is 0.312; however, this result is identified as incorrect, prompting a request for further insights from forum members.
