Study Guide Overview
This study guide covers the definition of the average value of a function over an interval, using the formula involving a definite integral. It introduces the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals, which relates the average value to a constant function with equivalent total change. The guide also includes a geometrical interpretation and worked examples. Key terms like average value and continuous function are explained, and practice questions are provided for reinforcement.

#Introduction
In this section, we will discuss the concept of the average value of a function, its mathematical formulation, and its applications. Understanding this concept is crucial for solving various problems in calculus.
#Definition
The average value of a function over the interval provides a single number that represents the average output of the function over that interval.
If is a continuous function, the average value of over the interval is given by:
