A Very MEAN Value Theorem




f'(c)=[f(b)-f(a)]/b-a


is the mean value theorem.

But what is the mean value theorem?

it is when the secent line is parallel to the

derivative of the function.








and example of when a function


fails the mean value theorem



although the function is continous it is not

differentiable at x=0

  1. hm... when the secant line is parallel to the derivative??

    You need to be way more specific. WAY more specific. Try again.

    Though this one is not graded based on correctness, the next one is!

  4. Wow, that's a very short explanation. When the secant line is parallel to the derivative??? I know what you're trying to say, but not the best wording possible. You might want to try explaining more, also: you missed very important parts of the theorem, as said above.

  5. Too brief. Allow sexii into your head and explain more.
