Theorems:

    Rolle’s Theorem: special case theorem.  Let f be a function that satisfies the following 3 hypotheses:

1.      f is continuous on a closed interval [a,b]

2.      f is differentiable on open interval (a,b)

3.      f(a) = f(b)

                  
                    Then there exists a number c in [a, b) such that f ‘(c) = 0

 

    Mean Value Theorem

1.      f is continuous on a closed interval [a,b]

2.      f is differentiable on open interval (a,b)

3.      f(a) = f(b)

                    Then there exists a number c in [a, b] such that f ‘(c) =
