What is the Mean Value Theorem?
Back
The Mean Value Theorem states that if a function is continuous on a closed interval [a, b] and differentiable on the open interval (a, b), then there exists at least one point c in (a, b) such that f'(c) = (f(b) - f(a)) / (b - a).

How do you find critical points of a function?
Back
Critical points occur where the first derivative f'(x) is zero or undefined. To find them, set f'(x) = 0 and solve for x.
