Somewhere in the Middle
Activity Overview
In this activity, students will explore the Mean Value Theorem. Students will find out when the tangent line is parallel to the secant line passing through the endpoints of an interval to help them find the values of c guaranteed to exist by the MVT. Students will also test functions where the hypotheses of the MVT are not met.
