The Derivate as a Rate of Change Mean Value Theorem and Rolle s Theorem Consider the values of a differentiable function, f(x), in the table below to answer the questions that follow. Plot the points and connect them on the grid below. x 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 f(x) 1 5 8 10 11 10 8 5 1 In calculus, the derivative has many interpretations. One of the most important interpretations is that the derivative represents the Rate of Change of a Function. When speaking of rate of change, there are two rates of change that can be found that are associated with a function average rate of change and instantaneous rate of change. Average Rate of Change of f(x) on an Interval Instantaneous Rate of Change of f(x) at a Point Find the average rate of change of f(x) on the Is the instantaneous rate of change of f at x = 4 interval [2, 12]. greater than the rate of change at x = 6?

Rolle s Theorem guarantees that if a function is continuous on the closed interval [a, b] and differentiable on the open interval (a, b), then there is guaranteed to exist a value of c where the instantaneous rate of change is equal to zero. The Mean Value Theorem is similar. In fact, Rolle s Theorem is a specific case of what is known in calculus as the Mean Value Theorem. Mean Value Theorem 5 Consider the function h( x) 3.

Find the equation of the tangent line to the graph of f ( x) 2x sin x 1on the interval (0, π) at the point which is guaranteed by the mean value theorem. The Mean Value Theorem guarantees that if a function is continuous on the closed interval [a, b] and differentiable on the open interval (a, b), then there is guaranteed to exist a value of c where the instantaneous rate of change at x = c is equal to the average rate of change of f on the interval [a, b].
