Theorems on Continuity and Differentiability

The video tutorial covers three fundamental theorems in calculus: the Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT), the Mean Value Theorem (MVT), and the Extreme Value Theorem (EVT). Each theorem is explained with conditions, examples, and applications. The IVT is used to show that a function takes on every value between two points. The MVT relates the derivative of a function to its average rate of change. The EVT ensures that a continuous function on a closed interval has both a maximum and minimum value. The importance of continuity and differentiability is emphasized throughout.

• It must be linear.

• It must be increasing.

What does differentiability imply about a function?

What does the Intermediate Value Theorem guarantee?

• A function has a maximum value.

• A function is differentiable.

• A function takes on every value between f(a) and f(b).

In the Intermediate Value Theorem, what is the significance of the interval [a, b]?
