How does the mean value equation apply in a math problem/equation? Or does it?
+23254 Do you mean the "mean-value theorem"?

Briefly, the mean-value theorem says that for any continuous function that is defined on a closed interval [a, b] with values (a, f(a)) to (b, f(b)), there will be at least one point in that interval such that the slope of the function at that point is equal to the slope determined by the endpoints: m = [f(b) - f(a)]/[b - a].
