Generalized Mean Value Theorem Suppose the functions f and g are continuous on ⌈a, b⌉ and differentiable on (a, b), where g(a) ≠ g(b). Then there is a point c in (a, b) at which
This result is known as the Generalized (or Cauchy’s) Mean Value Theorem.
- a. If g(x) = x, then show that the Generalized Mean Value Theorem reduces to the Mean Value Theorem.
- b. Suppose f(x) = x2 − l, g(x) = 4x + 2, and [a, b] = [0, 1]. Find a value of c satisfying the Generalized Mean Value Theorem.

- (Continuous Extension Theorem).(b) Let g be a continuous function on the open interval (a, b). Prove thatg is uniformly continuous on (a, b) if and only if it is possible to definevalues g(a) and g(b) at the endpoints so that the extended function g iscontinuous on [a, b]. (In the forward direction, first produce candidates for g(a) and g(b), and then show the extended g is continuous.)arrow_forwardProof of the Quotient Rule Let F = ƒ/g be the quotient of twofunctions that are differentiable at x.arrow_forwardMean Value Theorem: If f is a continuous function on the closed interval [a,b] & differable on the open interval (a,b), then there exists such numbers, c, on that f’(c)=[f(b)-f(a)]/b-a.

- Fermat’s Theorem: Let f be a continuous function on an open interval I where c is in I . If f has an extremum at c, then c must be a critical number of f. Expound this theorem.arrow_forwardFunctions Let the function f be differentiable on aninterval I containing c.
