Graphical representations can sometimes make it hard to understand the Mean Value Theorem (MVT). This can lead to some misunderstandings.

Here are a couple of reasons why this happens:

1. Difficulty in Understanding:

   • It can be tough to find the slope of a tangent line.
   • Figuring out how average rates and instant rates of change relate to each other can be confusing.

2. How to Make It Easier:

   • Practicing with simple functions can help make the concept clearer.
   • Using labeled graphs can really help you see the relationships in the MVT. This can make understanding easier, even though some parts may still be difficult.
