AP Calculus AB MVT The average rate of change of function on the interval [4,D] is given by (0-12), which is the =a slope of the secant passing through (a, f(a)) and (b, f(b). The instantaneous rate of change of a function f at a point x=c is given by f"(c). ‘The Mean Value Theorem: If is continuous on the closed interval [a,b] and differentiable on the open interval (a,b), then there exists a number cin (a,8) such that f"(c)=LO-L) = Z @ Note: The “mean” in the Mean Value Theorem refers to the mean (or average) a change of f in the interval (2,8). Rolle’s Theorem: Let / be continuous on the closed interval (a, 6] and differentiable on the open interval (a,b) .If f(a) = f(b) then there is at least one number c in (a,b) such that f (c)=0. 1.
