Say you compute the mean value theorem for both integrals and derivitives for the same function over the same domain. will you recieve the same awnser regardless of what f(x) is?

the mean value theorem for derivitives states that if f(X) is diferentiable and continuous at every point in the intrival [a,b], there is at least one point c in (a,b)where
f'(c) =(f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)
the mean value theorem for definite integrals states that if f is continuous on [a,b], then at some point c in (a,b)
f(c) = (b-a)^-1 * aintegralb f(x)dx
so i figure that the integral of f'(x) is f(x) + c
so (b-a)^-1 * aintegralb f(x)dx +c = aintegralb (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)
