Mean Value Theorem

The Mean Value Theorem is a fundamental result in differential calculus that states that if a function is continuous on a closed interval and differentiable on the corresponding open interval, then there exists at least one point in that interval where the derivative equals the function's average rate of change over the interval. This theorem is crucial in proving the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus because it provides the bridge between the average behavior of the function’s derivative and its instantaneous behavior, thereby ensuring that the derivative of the accumulated area function (the integral) coincides with the original function.
