Exploring the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and the Mean Value Theorem


1.  The Mean Value Theorem is used to prove the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
What is the Mean Value Theorem (provide statement).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

2.  On the sketch below estimate the c for the Mean Value Theorem for the interval [a,b] = [1,4].  Support your answer by drawing the appropriate tangent line at your c and the appropriate secant line.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

3.  The Mean Value Theorem for Integrals is used to prove the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

The Mean Value Theorem for Integrals states that if f is continuous on the closed interval [a,b] then there exists a number c in the closed interval [a,b] such that (complete the statement)
 
 
 
 

4.  Estimate what the  c in the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals  would be for the function f(x) whose graph is below with the interval of integration being [1,4].  Sketch the appropriate rectangle on the graph to support your answer.
