Abstract The mean value theorem of calculus states that, given a differentiable function f on an interval , there exists at least one mean value abscissa c such that the slope of the tangent line at is equal to the slope of the secant line through and . In this article, we study how the choices of c relate to varying the right endpoint b. In particular, we ask: When we can write c as a continuous function of b in some interval? As we explore this question, we touch on the implicit function theorem, a simplified version of the Morse lemma, and the theory of analytic functions.
