In this paper, the Flett mean value theorem is extended to continuous everywhere differentiable functions whose derivative may be infinite at some points. The following is the main result obtained there. Theorem. Let \(F:[a,b]\to R\) be a continuous function that has a (possibly infinite) derivative at any point of \([a,b]\), and satisfies \(F'(a)=F'(b)\). Then, there exists at least one point \(c\in (a,b)\), such that \(F'(c)=(F(c)-F(a))/(c-a)\). Further aspects occasioned by these developments are also discussed.
