Prove the following version of Darboux's Theorem: let f be differentiable in (a, b). Suppose that the two
limits
f'(a+) = lim f'(x), f'(b-) = lim f'(x)
x→a+
x→b-
both exist and are finite. Show that
1. (Existence of continuous extension) There is a function g(x) E C[a, b] such that g(x) = f(x) for all
хе (а, b).
2. If f'(a+) > m > f'(b–), then there exists c E (a, b) such that f'(c) = m.
