Rolle's Theorem states that if a function f is continuous on the closed interval [a,b] and differentiable on the open interval (a,b), with f(a) = f(b), then there exists at least one value c in the open interval where the derivative f'(c) is equal to 0. The Mean Value Theorem similarly guarantees the existence of at least one value c where the derivative is equal to the average rate of change of the function over the interval, (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a).
