SANTOS, Manoel Messias Frutuoso dos.
Resumo:
This work is a study of the Mean Value Theorem and some of its consequences. Initially it
was made a historical contextualization, bringing the biography of Joseph Louis Lagrange
and the history of the derivative. Fundamental concepts were defined in order to facilitate
the theorem demonstration. Finally, presented important theorems in Differential and Integral
Calculus, as Rolle’s theorem and Cauchy, a particular case and a generalization,
respectively, of mean value theorem.
