középértéktételek, which translates to "mean value theorems," is a collection of fundamental results in mathematical analysis. These theorems establish relationships between the values of a function and its derivative. The most well-known is the Mean Value Theorem for derivatives. This theorem states that for a differentiable function on a closed interval, there exists at least one point within that interval where the instantaneous rate of change (the derivative) is equal to the average rate of change over the entire interval. In simpler terms, if a function smoothly changes from one value to another, there must be a moment where its speed of change matches the overall speed of change.

Another important theorem is Cauchy's Mean Value Theorem, also known as the Generalized Mean Value Theorem. This theorem extends the basic Mean Value Theorem to two functions. It states that if two functions are differentiable on an interval and the derivative of the denominator function is never zero, then there exists a point within the interval where the ratio of their derivatives equals the ratio of the differences in their function values at the interval's endpoints.

Furthermore, the Mean Value Theorem for integrals relates the average value of a continuous function over an interval to its value at some point within that interval. It asserts that for a continuous function on a closed interval, there exists a point in the interval where the function's value is equal to the average value of the function over that interval. These theorems are crucial for understanding the behavior of functions and have wide-ranging applications in calculus and beyond.
