If y=f(x) is continous on interval [a,b], and u is a number between f(a) and f(b), then there is a c between [a,b] st. f(c)=u
If a function f is continous on a finate closed interval [a,b], then f has both an absolute maximum and an abolute minimum

Theorems
Extreme Value Theorem
Locating Absolute extrema
To locate absolute extrema on a finite, closed interval [a,b], evaluate f at all critical points and both endpoints. The largest of these values is the absolute maximum value of f on [a,b] while the smallest value is the absolute minimum.
If f(x) has only 1 relative maximum(minimum) at x=c in any given interval, then x=c is also the absolute maximum(minimum) of f(x) in that given interval.
Mean Value Theorem
Let f be continous on the closed interval [a,b] and differentiable on the open interval (a,b). Then there is at least one point c in (a,b) such that f'(c) = (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)
Rolle's Theorem
Let f be continous on the closed interval [a,b] and differentiable on the opne interval (a,b). If f(a)=0 and f(b)=0, then there is at least one point c in (a,b) such that f'(c)=0
