Understand and apply the Mean Value Theorem.


Remarks


Example 1: Let . On the interval [1, 9], find the value of c such that .

Example 2: At a car race, two cars join the race at the same point at the same time. They finish the race in a tie. Prove that some time during the race, the two cars had exactly the same speed. (Hint: Define f(t), g(t), and h(t), where  f(t) is the distance that car 1 has traveled at time t,  g(t)  is the distance that  car 2  has travelled at time t, and h(t) = f(t) - g(t).)

General Information

Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: 912
Domain-Subdomain: Calculus
Cluster: Differential Calculus - Develop an understanding of the derivative as an instantaneous rate of change, using geometrical, numerical, and analytical methods. Use this definition to find derivatives of algebraic and transcendental functions and combinations of these functions (using, for example, sums, composites, and inverses). Find second and higher order derivatives. Understand and use the relationship between differentiability and continuity. Understand and apply the Mean Value Theorem. Find derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions. Find derivatives of sums, products, and quotients, and composite and inverse functions. Find derivatives of higher order, and use logarithmic differentiation and the Mean Value Theorem.
