f(x)=\cfrac{2x-1}{3x+5} \qquad
\begin{cases}
x_1=0\\
x_2=6
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(6)-f(0)}{6-0}[/tex]
[tex]\bf \cfrac{\left[ \frac{2(6)-1}{3(6)+5} \right]~~-~~\left[ \frac{2(0)-1}{3(0)+5} \right]}{6}\implies \cfrac{\left[ \frac{11}{23}\right]~~-~~\left[-\frac{1}{5} \right]}{6}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\frac{11}{23}+\frac{1}{5}}{6}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{78}{115}\quad }{\frac{6}{1}}\implies \cfrac{78}{115}\cdot \cfrac{1}{6}\implies \cfrac{13}{115}[/tex]
