Well matt couldnt of said it better. We at least tried to do as much as we could but i found this week to be very difficult. This week we learned a lot about Rolle's Theorem but I am not too good at it but I kind of get the general concept. Rolle’s Theorem is used when you are trying to find a max or a min.
The steps are
1.) Make sure the function is continuous
2.) If it is continuous make sure that it is differentiable
3.) Make sure that the y - values match
4.) Take derivative and set equal to 0, then solve for x
the highest is the max and the lowest is the min.if you are looking to find an extrema he first two steps are all you need to use do is fina and max and a min you have to use all five steps.
we also learned how to use the mean value theorem. You use this when the average “rate of change” the rules that you need to use when you are using this theorem:set the derivative equal to zero to the slope between two points and there has to be a value x you can solve for if it is continuous and differentiable on the interval.
