f(x) = 7 sin(x) + 7 cos(x) on [0, 2π]

f(x) = 7 sin(x) + 7 cos(x) on [0, 2π]
The average rate of change over the interval is:
(f(2π) - f(0))/(2π - 0) = (7 - 7)/2π = 0
Now we need to find c such that f'(c) = 0 over the interval
f'(x) = 7cos(x) - 7sin(x) = 7(cos(x) - sin(x)) = 0 -> cos(x) = sin(x), or tan(x) = 1
Thus we need find all values of c satisfying tan(c) = 1 on [0, 2π]
There are two such values:
c = π/4 and c = 5π/4
