The Mean Value Theorem Visualization

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Visualizing the Mean Value Theorem

Move a and b to see the secant line and a tangent line that has the same slope as the secant line.  The Mean Value Theorem tells us that a point with such a tangent line always exists if f(x) is differentiable.

 

 

a = -1

b = 1
