Problem 2: Let f and g be two differentiable functions defined on an interval (a,b).
Assume that g(x) dne 0 for all x ∈ (a, b). Prove that f/g is differentiable and (f/g)'(x) = (f'(x)g(x)-f(x)g'(x))/(g^2(x))
for all x ∈ (a, b)
Let,
and
Since,
is differentiable at
,
is continuous at
.
Since
There exists a neighbourhood
of
such that
, for all
therefore for
,
Then,
since,
is continuous at
since
and
are differentiable at
,
and
therefore
and this shows that
is differentiable at
,which is any point arbitrarily choosen from the given interval
and
