Suppose the functions f and g are continuous on [a, b], differentiable on (a, b), and g'(x) #0 for any r € (a, b). Determine whether there exists k = (a, b) such that f(k) - f(a)_ f'(k) g(b) – g(k) g'(k)* h: [a, b] → R defined by h(x) = f(x)g(x) - f(a)g(x) – g(b)f(r), r = [a,b], (Hint: consider the function and compute h'.)

Question
(a) Suppose the functions f and g are continuous on [a, b], differentiable on (a, b),
and g'(x) #0 for any z € (a, b). Determine whether there exists k € (a, b) such
that
f(k) - f(a)
f'(k)
g(b) – g(k)
g' (k)
(Hint: consider the function h: [a, b] → R defined by
=
h(x) = f(x)g(x) - f(a)g(x) - g(b)f(x), x= [a,b],
and compute h'.)
