Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT)
Front
If f is continuous on the closed interval [a,b] and k is any number between f(a) and f(b), then there is at least one number c in [a,b] such that f(c)=k
Back
Extreme Value Theorem
Front
If f is continuous on a closed interval [a,b], then f has both a minimum and a maximum on the interval.
if f'(c) = 0 and f''(c) > 0 then minimum; if f'(c) = 0 and f''(c) < 0 then maximum

Used to determine where a function's graph has a min/max and is inc. or dec. (if a derivative goes + to -, it's a relative max. - to + is a relative min)
