    formula

    Proof.
    \(\begin{align} &\ f(a) = g(a)\ \ \ \ \ \\ & \ f(b) = g(b) \\ & \ h(x) = f(x) - g(x)\ \text{, [define }h(x)] \\ & \iff h(a) = h(b) = 0 \\ & \implies h'(x) = f'(x) - g'(x)\\ & \implies h'(x) = f'(x) - g'(x) = 0, \ \ \text{[for some } x = c]\\ & \implies f'(c) = g'(c) = \dfrac{g(b) - g(a)}{b-a}\\ & \implies f'(x) = \dfrac{f(b) - f(a)}{b-a} \end{align}\)

  6. Extreme Value Theorem:
    formula

  7. Intermediate Value Theorem:
    formula

Integration

  1. The Riemann Integral:
    formula

    Or, for equally spaced intervals,
    formula

  2. Integrability and Continuity, Correspondance:
    A function f that is continuous on an interval \([a, b]\) is also Riemann integrable on \([a, b]\)
  3. Weighted Mean Value Theorem for Integrals:
    formula

    When \(g(x) ≡ 1\), Theorem 1.13 is the usual Mean Value Theorem for Integrals.
    It gives the average value of the function \(f\) over the interval \([a, b]\)
    \(f(c)\ = \ \dfrac{1}{b − a} \int_a^b f(x) \ dx.\)


Taylor Polynomials and Series

  1. Taylor’s Theorem:
    formula

    \(P_n(x)\): is called the nth Taylor polynomial for \(f\) about \(x_0\).

    \(R_n(x)\): is called the truncation error (or remainder term) associated with \(P_n(x)\).

    Since the number \(ξ(x)\) in the truncation error \(R_n(x)\) depends on the value of x at which the polynomial \(P_n(x)\) is being evaluated, it is a function of the variable \(x\).

    Taylor’s Theorem, only, ensures that such a function \((ξ(x))\) exists, and that its value lies between \(x\) and \(x_0\), and not how to determine the function \((ξ(x))\).

  2. Polynomials:
    • Taylor’s Polynomial: The polynomial definied by
      formula
    • Maclaurin Polynomial: The special case Taylors Polynomial with \(x_0 = 0\).
  3. Series:
    • Taylor’s Series: The infinite series obtained by taking the limit of \(P_n(x),\text{as }\ n \rightarrow \inf\).
    • Maclaurin Series: The special case Taylors series with \(x_0 = 0\).
  4. Truncation Error:
    Refers to the error involved in using a truncated, or finite, summation to approximate
    the sum of an infinite series.
