Interm­ediate Value Theorem

IF f is a function that is continuous over the interval [a,b] and m is some number between f (a) and f (b), THEN there exists a number c between and b such that f (c)=m.

Mean Value Theorem

Rolle's Theorem

 
IF:
- [a,b] is continuous
 
- (a,b) is differ­ent­iable
 
- f(a)=f(b)
THEN:
f'(c)=0
