Mean value theorem: History, Generalizations & Statement

In calculus and real analysis, the mean value theorem (or Lagrange's mean value theorem) is a theorem about differentiable functions, roughly stating that the average rate of change of such a function over an interval is equal to the instantaneous rate of change at some point in the interval. For example, if a car smoothly travels a certain distance over…
