Zoneblitz61 Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Hey i got a bastage calculus test today at 5:30, so can anyone tell me how to do this mean value theorem concept?? My teacher didnt do anything but prove it exists, and i have no idea how to actually use it to solve a problem. Thnx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof. Frink Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 i would try to help you but i have no idea what you're talking about :D http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-...G=Google+Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neowin_hipster Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Here ya go: Let f be a function that satisfies the following hypothesis: 1)f is continuous on the closed interval [a,b] 2)f is differentiable on the open interval (a,b) There there is a number c in (a,b) such that f '©= ( f(b)-f(a) ) / (b-a) or f(b)-f(a)=f '©(b-a) My "retarded" calculus 12 class is still two chapters behind, we're slow, but this is what I understand from my book. So this means that Lets say f(b) = 3 and f(a)=5. Let b = 4 and a=2. f '© = -1. I guess use it to find the slope at a given point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
