IF y = f(x) is continuous y = f(x) is on a closed interval [a,b] y = f(x) is differentiable at every point in its interior (a,b) THEN Somewhere between points A and B on a differentiable curve, there is at least one tangent line parallel to chord AB. http://justmathtutoring.com/http://justmathtutoring.com/ Mean Value Thm.

4. Example 1: Exploring the Mean Value Theorem Show that the function f(x) = x 2 satisfies the hypothesis of the Mean Value Theorem on the interval [0,2]. Then find a solution c to the equation Consider f(x) = x 2. Is it continuous? Closed interval? Differentiable? If so, by the MVT we are guaranteed a point c in the interval [0,2] for which

5. Example 1 continued Given f(x) = x 2 Interval [0,2] To use the MVT Find the slope of the chord with endpoints (0, f(0)) and (2, f(2)). Find f’ Set f’ equal to the slope of the chord, solve for c Find c

6. Interpret your answer The slope of the tangent line to f(x) = x 2 at x = 1 is equal to the slope of the chord AB. OR The tangent line at x = 1 is parallel to chord AB. Write equations for line AB and the tangent line of y = x 2 at x=1. Graph and investigate. The lines should be parallel.

9. Theorem 3: Mean Value Theorem for Derivatives If y = f(x) is continuous at every point on the closed interval [a, b] and differentiable at every point of its interior (a,b), then there is at least one point c in (a,b) at which (The derivative at some point c = the slope of the chord.)

12. Example 3: Applying the Mean Value Theorem Find a tangent to f in the interval (-1,1) that is parallel to the secant AB. Given:, A = (-1,f(-1)) and B = (1, f(1)) 1) Find the slope of AB and f’(c) 2) Apply MVT to find c 3) Evaluate f(x) at c, use that point and the slope from step 1 to find the equation of the tangent line

13. You Try - 1) Find slope of chord AB that connects endpoints 2) Find f ’ and apply MVT formula to find c. 3) Evaluate f(x) at c, use that point and the slope from step 1 to find the equation of the tangent line. Graph & check.

14. Physical Interpretation of the Mean Value Theorem The MVT says the instantaneous change at some interior point must equal the average change over the entire interval. f’(x) = instantaneous change at a point = average change over the interval

15. Example 4: Interpreting the MVT If a car accelerating from zero takes 8 sec to go 352 ft, its average velocity for the 8-second interval is 352 / 8 = 44 ft/sec, or 30 mph. Can we cite the driver for speeding if he / she is in a residential area with a speed limit of 25 mph?

18. 4.2 Continued: Increasing Functions / Decreasing Functions Let f be a function defined on an interval I and let x 1 and x 2 be any two points on I f increases on I if x 1 f(x 1 ) < f(x 2 ) f decreases on I if x 1 f(x 1 ) > f(x 2 )

19. Corollaries to the Mean Value Theorem Corollary 1: Increasing & Decreasing Functions Let f be continuous on [a,b] and differentiable on (a,b). 1) If f ’ > 0 at each point of (a,b), then f increases on [a,b] 2) If f ’< 0 at each point of (a,b), then f decreases on [a,b] Corollary 2: Functions with f’ = 0 are Constant If f ’(x) = 0 at each point of an interval I, then there is a constant C for which f(x) = C for all x in I Corollary 3: Functions with the same derivative differ by a constant. If f ’(x) = g ’(x) at each point of an interval I, then there is a constant C such that f(x) = g(x) + C for all x in I. http://justmathtutoring.com/http://justmathtutoring.com/ Using 1 st derivative to find where f is increasing or decreasing, find max or min points

20. Example 5 Determining where graphs rise or fall Use corollary 1 to determine where the graph of f(x) = x 2 – 3x is increasing and decreasing. 1) Find f’ and set it equal to zero to find critical points. 2) Where f ’ > 0, f is increasing. 3) Where f ’ < 0, f is decreasing. 4) Any maximum or minimum values?

21. Example 6 Determining where graphs rise or fall Where is the function increasing and where is it decreasing? Graphically : Use window [-5,5] by [-5,5] Confirm Analytically : Find f ’, evaluate f ’ = 0 to find critical points. Where f ’ > 0, f is increasing. Where f ’ < 0, f is decreasing.

22. Example 7 Applying Corollary 3 Find the function f(x) whose derivative is sin x and whose graph passes through the point (0,2). Write f(x) = antiderivative function + C Use (x,y) = (0, 2) in equation, solve for C. Write f(x), the antiderivative of sin x through (0, 2)

23. Definition: Antiderivative A function F(x) is an antiderivative of a function f(x) if F’(x) = f(x) for all x in the domain of f. The process of finding an antiderivative is antidifferentiation. If you are given a derivative function, “Think Backwards” to get the original using all of the chapter 3 differentiation relationships.

24. Find the Antiderivative! Find the antiderivative of f(x) = 6x 2. Reverse the power rule Add 1 to the exponent Divide the coefficient by (exponent + 1) Add C You have found the antiderivative, F(x) Find the antiderivative of f(x) = cos x Think Backwards: What function has a derivative of cos x? Add C You have found the antiderivative, F(x).

25. Find each antiderivative – don’t forget C! 1) f’(x) = -sin x 2) f’(x) = 2x + 6 3) f’(x) = 2x 2 + 4x - 3

26. Specific Antiderivatives Find the antiderivative of through the point (0, 1). Write equation for antiderivative + c Insert point (0,1) for (x, y) and solve for c Write specific antiderivative.

27. Example 8 Finding Velocity and Position We can use antidifferentiation to find the velocity and position functions of a body falling freely from a height of 0 meters under each of the following sets of conditions. a) The acceleration is 9.8 m/sec 2 and the body falls from rest. b) The acceleration is 9.8 m/sec 2 and the body is propelled downward with an initial velocity of 1 m/sec 2.

28. The acceleration is 9.8 m/sec 2 and the body falls from rest. Work backwards Velocity function + c, P(0,0) (why?) Position function + c (from velocity function)

29. The acceleration is 9.8 m/sec 2 and the body is propelled downward with an initial velocity of 1 m/sec 2. Work backwards Velocity function + c, P(0,1) (why?) Position function + c (from velocity function)

30. Summary The Mean Value Theorem tells us that If y = f(x) is continuous at every point on the closed interval [a, b] and differentiable at every point of its interior (a,b), then there is at least one point c in (a,b) at which (The derivative at point c = the slope of the chord.) It’s corollaries go on to tell us that where f ‘ is positive, f is increasing, where f ‘ = 0, f is a constant function, and where f ‘ is negative, f is decreasing. We can work backwards from a derivative function to the original function, a process called antidifferentiation. However, as the derivative of any constant = 0, we need to know a point of the original function to get its specific antiderivative. Without a point of the function all we can determine is a general formula for f(x) + C.
