Rolle’s Theorem and Mean Value Theorem
This presentation explores the foundational concepts of Rolle’s
Theorem and the Mean Value Theorem in calculus, delving into
their definitions, applications, and geometric interpretations.

Mean Value
Theorem: Statement
and Proof
1 1. Continuous 2 2. Differentiable
Function Function
The function must be The function must be
continuous on the closed differentiable on the open
interval [a, b]. interval (a, b).
3 Conclusion
There exists at least one point c in the interval (a, b) where the
derivative of the function is equal to the slope of the secant line
connecting the endpoints of the interval: f'(c) = (f(b) - f(a)) / (b - a).
Geometric Interpretations
Tangent Line
The tangent line represents the instantaneous rate of change of the function at
a specific point.
Secant Line
The secant line connects two points on the function's graph, representing the
average rate of change over the interval.
Slope
The slope of the tangent line (derivative) is equal to the slope of the secant line
at the point where they are parallel.
Applications and
Conclusions
Optimization Problems
1 Identify critical points to find maximum or minimum values.
Error Analysis
2 Estimate the maximum error in a function's
approximation.
Velocity and Acceleration
3 Relate the average velocity to instantaneous
velocity.
