Answer

The Mean Value Theorem is a special case of Taylor’s Theorem.

Work Step by Step

We need to consider the special case for Taylor’s Theorem. We have $f(b) =f(a)+f’(c)(b-a)$ ; [$c$ is between $a$ and $b$] $\implies f(b) =f(a)+f’(c) (b-a)$ $\implies f(b) -f(a)=f’(c) (b-a)$ Thus, we can conclude that the Mean Value Theorem is a special case of Taylor’s Theorem.
