Tutorial sheet 5: Tutorial sheet 5: Differentiability, Rolle’s theorem, and Mean Value theorem

Exercise 1: Let f : (a, b) → R be a function such that

|f (x + h) − f (x)| ≤ C|h|α

for all x, x + h ∈ (a, b), where C is a constant and α > 1. Show that f is differentiable on (a, b) and compute
f 0 (x) for x ∈ (a, b).

Exercise 2: If f : (a, b) → R is differentiable at c ∈ (a, b), then show that

f (c + h) − f (c − h)
lim
h→0+ 2h
exists and equals to f 0 (c). Is the converse true?

Exercise 3: Let f : R → R satisfy

f (x + y) = f (x).f (y) for all x, y ∈ R.

If f is differentiable at 0, then show that f is differentiable at every c ∈ R and f 0 (c) = f 0 (0)f (c). Furthermore,
show that f has derivative of every order on R.

Exercise 4: If p(·) is a polynomial of degree more than 1 and k is a real constant, then by Rolle’s Theorem
prove that between any two real roots of p(·) there is a real root of p0 (x) + kp(x) = 0.

Exercise 5: Use Mean value theorem to prove that | sin a − sin b| ≤ |a − b| for all a, b ∈ R.

Exercise 6: Let f be continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b). If f (a) = a and f (b) = b show that
there exist distinct c1 , c2 ∈ (a, b) such that f 0 (c1 ) + f 0 (c2 ) = 2.

Exercise 7: If a function f is continuous on [a, b], derivable on (a, b) and f 0 (x) > 0 for all x ∈ (a, b), then by
Mean Value Theorem show that f is strictly increasing on [a, b].

Exercise 8: Let a > 0 and f be continuous on [−a, a]. Suppose that f 0 (x) exists and f 0 (x) ≤ 1 for all
x ∈ (−a, a). If f (a) = a and f (−a) = −a. Show that f (0) = 0. Is it true that f (x) = x for every x?

Exercise 9: In each case, find a function f which satisfies all the given conditions, or else show that no such
function exists.

1. f 00 (x) > 0 for all x ∈ R, f 0 (0) = 1 and f 0 (1) = 1.


2. f 00 (x) > 0 for all x ∈ R, f 0 (0) = 1 and f 0 (1) = 2.
3. f 00 (x) ≥ 0 for all x ∈ R, f 0 (0) = 1 and f (x) ≤ 100 for all x > 0.
4. f 00 (x) > 0 for all x ∈ R, f 0 (0) = 1 and f (x) ≤ 1 for all x < 0.

Exercise 10: Use LMVT to show that


v−u v−u
2
< tan−1 v − tan−1 u < if 0 < u < v.
1+v 1 + u2
Also deduce that
π 3 4 π 1
