takes on every y-value between f(a) and f(b) on the interval (a,b)
Extreme Value Theorem - ANSWERf(x) is continuous on [a,b], f(x) has at least 1
max and 1 min on [a,b]
Mean Value Theorem - ANSWERf(x) is differentiable on (a,b) and thus continuous
[a,b], there is a point c on (a,b) where f'(c)=f(b)-f(a)/b-a, instantaneous rate of
change=average rate of change, slope of tangent line=slope of secant line
