1 Section 5.5 The Intermediate Value Theorem Rolle’s Theorem The Mean Value Theorem 3.6

2 Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT) If f is continuous on [a, b] and N is a value between f(a) and f(b), then there is at least one point c between a and b where f takes on the value N. a f(a) b f(b) N c

3 Rolle’s Theorem If f is continuous on [a, b], if f(a) = 0, f(b) = 0, then there is at least one number c on (a, b) where f ‘ (c ) = 0 a b slope = 0 c f ‘ (c ) = 0

4 Given the curve: x f(x) x+h f(x+h)

5 The Mean Value Theorem (MVT) aka the ‘crooked’ Rolle’s Theorem If f is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b) There is at least one number c on (a, b) at which a b f(a) f(b) c Conclusion: Slope of Secant Line Equals Slope of Tangent Line

6 f(0) = -1 f(1) = 2

7 Find the value(s) of c which satisfy Rolle’s Theorem for on the interval [0, 1]. Verify…..f(0) = 0 – 0 = 0 f(1) = 1 – 1 = 0 which is on [0, 1]

8 Find the value(s) of c that satisfy the Mean Value Theorem for

9 Note: The Mean Value Theorem requires the function to be continuous on [-4, 4] and differentiable on (-4, 4). Therefore, since f(x) is discontinuous at x = 0 which is on [-4, 4], there may be no value of c which satisfies the Mean Value Theorem Since has no real solution, there is no value of c on [-4, 4] which satisfies the Mean Value Theorem

10 Given the graph of f(x) below, use the graph of f to estimate the numbers on [0, 3.5] which satisfy the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem.

11 f(x) is continuous and differentiable on [-2, 2] On the interval [-2, 2], c = 0 satisfies the conclusion of MVT

12 f(x) is continuous and differentiable on [-2, 1] On the interval [-2, 1], c = 0 satisfies the conclusion of MVT

13 Since f(x) is discontinuous at x = 2, which is part of the interval [0, 4], the Mean Value Theorem does not apply

14 f(x) is continuous and differentiable on [-1, 2] c = 1 satisfies the conclusion of MVT

15 f(3) = 39 f(-2) = 64 For how many value(s) of c is f ‘ (c ) = -5? If, how many numbers on [-2, 3] satisfy the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem. A. 0 B. 1 C. 2 D. 3 E. 4 CALCULATOR REQUIRED X XX
