This calculus video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the mean value theorem. It contains plenty of examples and practice problems that show you how to find the value of c in the closed interval [a,b] that satisfies the mean value theorem. For the mean value theorem to be applied to a function, you need to make sure the function is continuous on the closed interval [a, b] and differentiable on the open interval (a, b).
