The Mean Value Theorem (MVT) is a fundamental result in calculus that relates the slope of the tangent line to a function at a point to the slope of the secant line connecting two points on the function. Specifically, it states that if a function satisfies certain conditions, there exists at least one point where the instantaneous rate of change (the derivative) equals the average rate of change over an interval.
