     The mean value theorem for derivatives provides an important link between the derivative of f on an interval and the behavior of f over the interval.

2. (calculus, uncountable) The theorem that for any real-valued function that is differentiable on an interval, there is a point in that interval where the derivative of the curve equals the slope of the straight line between the graphed function values at the interval's end points.
   • 1990, A. Neumaier, Interval Methods for Systems of Equations, Cambridge University Press, page 51,

     In order to get a true bound for the range we may replace the Taylor series in (2) by the mean value theorem, which tells us that

     ${\displaystyle f({\tilde {x}})=f({\check {x}})+f'(\zeta )({\tilde {x}}-{\check {x}})}$

     for some ${\displaystyle \zeta }$ on the line segment between ${\displaystyle {\tilde {x}}}$ and ${\displaystyle {\check {x}}}$.

(Note that since nothing is assumed about the function outside the interval, it cannot, strictly speaking, be said to be differentiable at the end points. However, the continuity condition means that it is right differentiable at ${\displaystyle a}$ and left differentiable at ${\displaystyle b}$.)
