(if you typed something like it, then override quizlet and say you were correct)
Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT)
If f(x) is continuous on [a, b] then and N is a value between f(a) and f(b), then there must be a value "c" in (a, b) such that f(c) = N
Mean Value Theorem (MVT)
If f(x) is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b) then there must be "c" in (a, b) such that f'(c) = [f(b)-f(a)]/(b-a)
Rolle's Theorem
If f(x) is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b) and f(a) = f(b), then there is at least one critical number in (a, b)
Is an Extrema an x or y value
y-value
critical number
the x-values where extrema occur
critical point
(critical number, extrema) in (x,y) format
Absolute Maximum
Largest y-value in the entire function
Absolute Minimum
smallest y-value in the entire function
Local/Relative Maximum
Largest y-value in a certain area of the function marked by bounds

If the limit as x approaches a of f(x)/g(x) = 0/0, ±∞/±∞, 1^∞, of ∞^0, then it becomes the limit as x approaches a of f'(x)/g'(x)

Fun fact that you should know on related rates (generally distance problems), the minimums and maximums are the same for
f(x) and [f(x)]^0.5 Now you can differentiate without the evil radical in the denominator.
