I wonder how mean this theorem really is? The Mean Value Theorem Lesson 4.2
Think About It • Consider a trip of two hours that is 120 miles in distance … • You have averaged 60 miles per hour • What reading on your speedometer would you have expected to see at least once? 60
c Rolle’s Theorem • Given f(x) on closed interval [a, b] • Differentiable on open interval (a, b) • If f(a) = f(b) … then • There exists at least one numbera < c < b such that f ’(c) = 0 f(a) = f(b) b a
Ex. Find the two x-intercepts of f(x) = x2 – 3x + 2 and show that f’(x) = 0 at some point between the two intercepts. f(x) = x2 – 3x + 2 0 = (x – 2)(x – 1) x-int. are 1 and 2 f’(x) = 2x - 3 0 = 2x - 3 x = 3/2 Rolles Theorem is satisfied as there is a point at x = 3/2 where f’(x) = 0.
Let f(x) = x4 – 2x2 . Find all c in the interval (-2, 2) such that f’(x) = 0. Since f(-2) and f(2) = 8, we can use Rolle’s Theorem. f’(x) = 4x3 – 4x = 0 8 4x(x2 – 1) = 0 x = -1, 0, and 1 Thus, in the interval (-2, 2), the derivative is zero at each of these three x-values.
c Mean Value Theorem • We can “tilt” the picture of Rolle’s Theorem • Stipulating that f(a) ≠ f(b) • Then there exists a c such that b a
The Mean Value Theorem (MVT) aka the ‘crooked’ Rolle’s Theorem f(b) a c b f(a) • We can “tilt” the picture of Rolle’s Theorem • Stipulating that f(a) ≠ f(b) If f is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b) There is at least one number c on (a, b) at which Conclusion: Slope of Secant Line Equals Slope of Tangent Line
Finding c • Given a function f(x) = 2x3 – x2 • Find all points on the interval [0, 2] where • Strategy • Find slope of line from f(0) to f(2) • Find f ‘(x) • Set f ‘(x) equal to slope … solve for x
Given f(x) = 5 – 4/x, find all c in the interval (1,4) such that the slope of the secant line = the slope of the tangent line. ? But in the interval of (1,4), only 2 works, so c = 2.
Find the value(s) of c that satisfy the Mean Value Theorem for
If , how many numbers on [-2, 3] satisfy the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem. A. 0 B. 1 C. 2 D. 3 E. 4 CALCULATOR REQUIRED f(3) = 39 f(-2) = 64 For how many value(s) of c is f ‘ (c ) = -5? X X X
Find the value(s) of c that satisfy the Mean Value Theorem for Since has no real solution, there is no value of c on [-4, 4] which satisfies the Mean Value Theorem Note: The Mean Value Theorem requires the function to be continuous on [-4, 4] and differentiable on (-4, 4). Therefore, since f(x) is discontinuous at x = 0 which is on [-4, 4], there may be no value of c which satisfies the Mean Value Theorem
Mean Value Theorem • Applied to a cubic equation Note Geogebera Example
Find the value(s) of c which satisfy Rolle’s Theorem for on the interval [0, 1]. which is on [0, 1] Verify…..f(0) = 0 – 0 = 0 f(1) = 1 – 1 = 0
Given the graph of f(x) below, use the graph of f to estimate the numbers on [0, 3.5] which satisfy the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem.
f(x) is continuous and differentiable on [-2, 2] On the interval [-2, 2], c = 0 satisfies the conclusion of MVT
f(x) is continuous and differentiable on [-2, 1] On the interval [-2, 1], c = 0 satisfies the conclusion of MVT
Since f(x) is discontinuous at x = 2, which is part of the interval [0, 4], the Mean Value Theorem does not apply
f(x) is continuous and differentiable on [-1, 2] c = 1 satisfies the conclusion of MVT
