Topic 5.1: Using the Mean Value Theorem
Learning Objective: FUN-1.B
Justify conclusions about functions by applying the Mean Value Theorem over an interval.
Essential Knowledge: FUN-1.B.1
If a function f is continuous over the interval [a, b] and differentiable over the interval (a, b), then the Mean Value Theorem guarantees a point within that open interval where the instantaneous rate of change equals the average rate of change over the interval.
