Mean value theorem | Existence theorems | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

The Mean Value Theorem states that if a function f is continuous on the closed interval [a,b] and differentiable on the open interval (a,b), then there exists a point c in the interval (a,b) such that f'(c) is equal to the function's average rate of change over [a,b]. In other words, the graph has a tangent somewhere in (a,b) that is parallel to the secant line over [a,b]. Created by Sal Khan.

First watching all the basics here, then move to the organic chem to learn how to apply it

[@mohamedroshdy6756]

+1

[@ruby-oo9fi]

What how

[@laveyactress9647]

Loool that is exactly what i do😂😂😂❤️

[@tundeoriyomi1186]

Did same😂😂

[@delusionalplatonist6077]

it more applicable in biology tho ;)

[@geekbuddy4]

I love the way Sal explains concepts intuitively :)

[@draculiciouscoffinlove7122]

you see why and how they got the formula you are using the f(b)-f(a) / b-a is all good and makes sense y2-y1 / x2-x1 basic slope formula but he makes you really see where its from so you can understand what to do and not memorize the formulas and what to do and when to use them and in what order. i think strictly in a visual manner. i've been using khan academy all through high school and even now in college

[@alexmorgan1124]

These 7 minutes have been more helpful than all of last week in class

[@Ureyeuh]

When you see that Sal is using his thinner pen setting and the audio is nice and full: *HELL YEAH!*

[@tjboyte]

As a homeschooler who learned math thru Sal and is now reviewing for Calc final, I felt this on a personal level!

[@ashnakamura2411]

Hi, do you know which pen tablet he uses? Thanks

@Arid Sohan No -___-

[@chiragdalwani4422]

@Arid Sohan There is some function that has a sharp bend. They are continuous but not differentiable at the bend. Like modulus function is continuous but not differentiable at f(x)=0

[@abdelrahman914]

@Arid Sohan f(x)=|x|, f(x)=sqrt(x)...

[@lun4r16]

@Arid Sohan Sharp point. All differentiable functions are continuous is what you're thinking of.

[@shira966]

Honestly, this channel saved my life. You explain everything so well. Thank you.

[@ahmad32ize]

I Aced my class thanks to you SAL, I really appreciate it!!

[@implicit2656]

Perfect!! #SalKhanForPresident!

[@benilginocchio]

I cannot possibly thank you enough for how intuitively this explanation is.

[@molbie07]

hey man i just found your channel and all i can say is you are awesome! :D particularly after watching this video about the differential you make it seem as it should be..simple..i believe if you showed that to all highschool-university students they would understand it better than from their professor!!keep up the good work!!

[@fahralyacoub8970]

One thing im not able to understand is why do we use the open interval to describe the differentiability. How would it hurt if we included a,b?

[@anthonygreeko4309]

Great explanation, only thing is that you failed to mention that since the slopes are the same, the tangent line, and the secant line are parallel. Other than that, thanks for another good video!

[@nickrascona5123]

These are the people that need to be hired as professors, not researchers who don't know how to teach a class of intro calculus undergrads.

[@sonixmakeer3700]

As far as your explanation is concerned, it is really very incredible.

[@lancelofjohn6995]

The introduction makes things easy

[@ChukapiMagnetar]

Sal, I officially nominate you the god of math teachers...

[@Ureyeuh]

The audio in this one is GREAT!

[@hanch96]

thank you!!

[@araradsarkissian2859]

Perfect explanation Thank you!!! :)

[@lina_a__lz]

Finally i understand this 🎉

[@mahakjauhri6759]

Can you explain me the reason behind considering differentiable on open interval (a, b) ?

[@stickmanbattle997]

Because if (a,b) is not differentiable even the (a,b) is continuous you can't apply the mean value theorem because for some point is not differentiable it means for a < c < b f'(c) ≠ (f(a)-f(b))/(a-b)

[@farhansadikabtahifh-6158]

Thank you so much

[@shifagoyal8221]

Excellent interpretation.

[@SnehApM06]

Thank you😍

[@lansonrandell253]

so helpful!!!!!

[@jaimaa1512]

really beautiful and simple

[@riteshghorpade_rmg]

Why the function has to be differential over (a,b) and not [a,b] ?

[@carlosal1015]

Because by definition of derivative, a differential function on a particular point, I mean that the existence of this limit must equal both the left and the right (theory of limits), I mean that in an open interval can analyze the derived, but not on a closed interval. All differential function must meet limf (x) x to a = f (a). In a closed interval can not analyze whether the lateral limits verified. Greetings from Peru

[@raym984]

Simply put, you cannot find the derivative of an endpoint.

[@wavyks2159]

Helped so much! By far the best video lol

[@heather-wong]

how does he draw his lines so perfectly straight

[@MrBorchersMaths]

So helpful!! Thank you!

[@bushranaheed7531]

‘ The y value is ofcourse f(b).... f(b)...f(b)...’

[@Naman-sh4dw]

amazing

[@bcnicholas123]

i mean that's great, but what's it used for

[@robbyburns5822]

Here's a question on my review: "Given that f(x)=x^3 find all values of x in the interval (-1,1) that satisfy the MVT"

[@spacefertilizer]

It’s used in a lot of other proofs, in my experience. There’s probably a lot of applications in physics I guess.

[@M6BrokeMe]

@@robbyburns5822 Yeah. I wonder that too. If you can take the derivative, the you already know so much more about the function than just it's average rate of change.

[@yashuppot3214]

Proving FTC without hairy epsilon and deltas.

[@vinitchauhan973]

Thank you

Clutch

[@victorserras]

Khan Academy is good to get an intuitive sense about conceps but don't rely on intuitive sense alone. You need the formal and rigorous understanding of Calculus theorems too, otherwise you'll still get stuck when facing actual problems.

[@Rocky-me5cw]

What are books for?

[@shivanijha2607]

Is there any coaching for net csir maths??

[@masonp5]

good video

[@jaiso434]

my lecturer just woke up from a bad sleep, that's how he teaches.

[@toyosisaint5214]

Explicit ❤

[@awakenbeast9222]

6 minute taught me better than 40 minutes in class.

[@ikemoon127]

Just one more day... One more hour, one more minute, one more second, one more life...

[@danielle3586]

how do I know if it’s continuous or differentiable

[@sharukun]

If the tangent is always the secant,,,, I guess

[@dv7551]

3:37 I'm dying

[@darkvenomz9073]

Can anybody tell me why the tangent is taken in open interval (a,b)?

[@ethanvanvliet7900]

You can’t find a derivative on the end point, it makes sense bc if a derivative is slope and function is ending it’s slope no longer exists before or after it ends

[@PoojaSharma-wq1ni]

What is meaning of the theorem ? Eassy language definition.

[@saifalikhan5206]

You sound like Benedict Cumberbatch !

[@vanizaalimerchant6252]

how is this diff then rolle's theorem?

[@ivangoncharuk607]

the slope is 0

[@flyin5952]

VanizaAli Merchant Rolle’s Theorem only applies when f(a) = f(b) so like the endpoints have the same y, I think?
