Mean value theorem




In mathematics, the mean value theorem (or Lagrange theorem) states, roughly, that for a given planar arc between two endpoints, there is at least one point at which the tangent to the arc is parallel to the secant through its endpoints.
More precisely, the theorem states that
if a function f(x) is
(i)continuous in the closed interval [a, b]
(ii) differentiable in the open interval (a, b).
Then, there exists at least one number c∈(a, b) such that
\(f '(c) = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\)




Geometrical Meaning of Mean Value Theorem

Let f(x) be a continuous function in an interval [a,b] with A=f(a) and B=f(b). Then Mean Value Theorem asserts that there exist at least one point c lying between A and B such that the tangent at that point is parallel to the chord AB as shown in figure below.




There may exist more than one points \(c_1, c_2\) and may be more between A and B, so that the tangents at those points are parallel to chord AB shown in figure.




Proof of Mean value theorem

Statement
if a function f(x) is
(i)continuous in the closed interval [a, b]
(ii) differentiable in the open interval (a, b).
Then, there exists at least one number c∈(a, b) such that
\(f '(c) = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\)
Proof

Let P(x,y) be any arbitrary point on the line AB.
Then equation of the line AB is given by
\(y-f(a)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} (x-a)\)
or \(y=f(a)+\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} (x-a)\)
Take a point C, which lies on the function, the value of segment AC, which is perpendicular to x-axis is
AC=f(x)
Now, the value of the segment PC is given by
PC=f(x)- y

Let g(x)=PC is a new function, then
g(x)=f(x)-y
The function g(x) is defined by
\(g(x) = f(x)-\) \(f(a)-\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} (x-a)\)
Here
g(a)=g(b)
Further g(x) has the same continuity and differentiability properties as f(x)
Thus we can apply Rolle’s theorem to g(x) finding c ∈(a, b), where g'(c) = 0.
We immediately get that
\( g'(c)=0\)
or \( f'(c)-\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}=0\)
or \(f'(c) = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\)
This completes the proof.

Rolle’s theorem :History

The Roll's theorem says that, if a continuous curve passes through the same y-value (such as the x-axis) twice and has a unique tangent line (derivative) at every point of the interval, then somewhere between the endpoints it has a tangent parallel to the x-axis. The theorem was proved in 1691 by the French mathematician Michel Rolle, though it was stated without a modern formal proof in the 12th century by the Indian mathematician Bhaskara II.




Rolle’s theorem :Proof

Statement: If f(x) is
(i) continuous in the closed interval [a, b];
(ii) differentiable in the open interval (a, b).
(iii) f(a)=f(b)
Then, there exists at least one number \(c\in (a, b)\) such that f '(c) = 0.

Proof

If f(x) is constant then
f'(x) (c) = 0 for all c∈(a, b)
Suppose there exists x ∈ (a, b) such that
f(x) > f(a)
(A similar argument can be given if f(x) < f(a)).
Then there exists c ∈ (a, b) such that f(c) is a maximum.
Since, f(x) has a local maximum at c ∈(a, b), For small (enough) h,
\(f(c + h) \le f(c)\).
If h > 0 then
\( \frac{f(c + h)-f(c)}{h} \le 0\).
Similarly,
If h < 0, then
\(\frac{f(c + h)-f(c)}{h} \ge 0\).
By elementary properties of the limit, it follows that
f'(c) = 0.

Maxima and Minima







Maxima and minima are known as the extrema of a function. Maxima and minima are the maximum or the minimum value of a function within the given set of ranges. For the function, under the entire range, the maximum value of the function is known as the global(absolute ) maxima and the minimum value is known as the global (absolute) minima.
There are other maxima and minima of a function, which are not the absolute maxima and minima of the function and are known as local maxima and local minima

Maxima र minima फलनको छेउ-छेउको मान भनिन्छ। Maxima र minima भनेको फलनको दायराहरूबिचमा हुने अधिकतम वा न्यूनतम मान हो। फलनको सम्पूर्ण दायराहरूबिचमा हुने अधिकतम मानलाई global( absolute ) maxima भनिन्छ र सम्पूर्ण दायराहरूबिचमा हुने न्यूनतम मानलाई विश्वव्यापी global( absolute ) minima भनिन्छ।
यस बाहेक फलनक अन्य अधिकतम/न्यूनतम मानलाई local maxima/minima भनेर चिनिन्छ।

Please note that:
  1. The combination of maxima and minima is extrema.
  2. global maxima is he highest point on the curve within the given range and minima is the lowest point on the curve.
  3. local maxima can be less than local minima and vice-versa



How to compute Maxima/Minima

  1. Step 1: Find the turning point:
    Evaluate f ′(x) and solve f ′(x)=0.
    Say p=a,b,c,... are solutions (these are turning points).
  2. Step 2: Evaluate f"(x) and find f"(p).
    If f "(p) < 0 then at x= p maxima, and f(p) is maximum value
    If f "(p)> 0 then at x=p minima, and f(p) is minimum value
    If f "(p)= 0 then test fails at x=p
  3. Repeat this for all critical points p=a,b,c,...

Nature of Points







Can you write a function whose derivative does NOT exist a some point.🗨 🙋
🕵 🗩 Yes, below is a function fiven by f(x)=|x| whose derivative does NOT exist at x=0 .

Given function is
\(f(x)= |x|\)
In the simplified form, this function can be written as
\( f(x)= \begin{cases} -x &\text { for } x < 0 \\ x &\text { for } x>0 \end{cases} \)
The derivative function is given by
\( f'(x)= \begin{cases} -1 &\text { for } x < 0 \\ 1 &\text { for } x>0 \end{cases} \)
So,
At \( x=0^{-}\), the left hand limit is
\( \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0^{-}} f'(x)= \lim_{x \to 0^{-} } -1= -1\) LHL
At \( x=0^{+}\), the right hand limit is
\( \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} f'(x)= \lim_{x \to 0^{+} } 1= 1\) RHL
Since, LHL≠RHL, so, the derivative of the function f(x)=|x| does NOT exist at x=0.




Nature of points

There are 6 types of points, they are describes as below.
  1. Critical Point

    A point where the derivative of a function is either zero or undefined, is called critical points.
    In the figure below, A,B,C, and D are critical points in which

    1. f'(x)=0 at A
    2. f'(x)=0 at B
    3. f'(x) is NOT defined at C (f is not differentiable at C)
    4. f'(x)=0 at D
    Critical points are the points on the graph where the function's rate of change is altered—either a change from increasing to decreasing, in concavity, or in some unpredictable fashion.
    A critical point is
    1. stationary point if the function changes from increasing/decreasign to decreasing/increasing at that point
    2. turning point if the function changes from increasing/decreasign to decreasing/increasing at that point and and is a local minimum/maximum
    3. saddle point if the function changes both increasing/decreasign and concavity at that point
    NOTE: Maxima and mimina can occurs at critical points where first derivative is undefined.


  2. Stationary Point

    A point where the derivative of a function (the gradient/slope of a graph) is zero is called a stationary point.
    In the figure below, A,B,and D are stationary points in which

    1. f'(x)=0 at A
    2. f'(x)=0 at B
    3. f'(x)=0 at D
    Note: all stationary points are critical points, but not all critical points are stationary points.


  3. Turning Point

    A point where the derivative of a function is (the gradient/slope of a graph) is zero and function has a local maximum or local minimum (extrema point), is called a turning point.There are two types of turning points: local maximum and local minimum.

    1. If f is increasing on the left interval and decreasing on the right interval, then the stationary point is a local maximum
    2. If f is decreasing on the left interval and increasing on the right interval, then the stationary point is a local minimum

    In the figure below, C is only the turning point[Please note that A and B is not turning point] in which

    1. f'(x)=0 at A, but local extrema is NOT defined at A
    2. f'(x) is NOT defined at B
    3. f'(x)=0 at C, local minima is defined at C
    Note: all turning points are stationary points, but not all stationary points are turning points.


  4. Straight line/Constant function

    Some stationary points are neither turning points nor horizontal points of inflection. For example, every point on the graph of the equation \(y = 1\) (see Figure below), or on any horizontal line, is a stationary point that is neither a turning point nor point of inflection. It is a straight line.




  5. Point of Inflection/ Plateau point

    A point where the second derivative of a function changes sign, the graph of the function will switch from concave down to concave up, or vice versa, is called an inflection point. Assuming the second derivative is continuous, it must take a value of zero at any inflection point, although not every point where the second derivative is zero is necessarily a point of inflection.

    Mathematically, a point on a function f (x) is said to be a point of inflexion if f''(x) = 0 and f'''(x)≠0.
    At this point, the concavity changes from upward to downward or vice-versa.
    Therefore the point of inflexion is the transition between concavity of the curves.




  6. Saddle point (Horizontal point of inflection)

    A saddle point or minimax point is a point on a function where the slopes (derivatives) is zero , but which is not a local extremum of the function. Thus, a saddle point is a point which is both a stationary point and a point of inflection. Since it is a point of inflection, it is not a local extremum.

    Figure below shows the graph of the function \( f(x) = x^3\) .
    The derivative of this function is \( f'(x) = 3x^2\), so the 1st derivative f'(x) =0 when x = 0 is
    \(f'(0) = 3 \times 0^2 = 0\).
    So the function \( f(x) = x^3\) has a stationary point at x = 0.
    However, this stationary point isn’t a turning point.
    Because
    The second derivative of this function \( f''(x) = 6x\), so the second derivative \( f''(x) = 0\) when x = 0 is
    \(f''(0) = 6 \times 0 = 0\).
    So the function \( f(x) = x^3\) has a inflexional point at x = 0.
    In such case, the point is called saddle point
