The mean value theorem of calculus states that, given a differentiable function f on an interval [a, b], there exists at least one mean value abscissa c such that the slope of the tangent line at (c, ...
Geometrically, the derivative measures the slope of the line tangent to the curve at the point. Note that we can't calculate this without a limit--drawing a line takes two points, but if we take a ...
