Let f be a continuous function on [a, b] which is differentiable on (a,b). Then f is non-decreasing on [a,b] if and only if f′(x) ≥ 0 for all x ∈ (a,b), while if f is non-increasing on [a,b] if and only if f′(x) ≤ 0 for all x ∈ (a, b). can you please prove this theorem? thank you!

Rolle's Theorem, "Let f be a continuous function on [a,b] that is differentiable on (a,b) and such that f(a)=f(b). Then there exists at least one point c on (a,b) such that f'(c)=0." Rolle's Theorem requires three conditions be satisified. (a) What are these three conditions? (b) Find three functions that satisfy exactly two of these three conditions, but for which the conclusion of Rolle's theorem does not follow, i.e., there is no point c in (a,b) such that f'(c)=0. Each...

1) Let f(x) be a continuous, everywhere differentiable function and g(x) be its derivative. If f(c) = n and g(c) = d, write the equation of the tangent line at x = c using only the variables y, x, c, n, and d. You may use point-slope or slope-intercept but do not introduce more variables. 2) Let f(x) be a continuous, everywhere differentiable function. What kind information does f'(x) provide regarding f(x)? 3) Let f(x) be a continuous, everywhere differentiable...

Part A. If a function f has a derivative at x not. then f is continuous at x not. (How do you get the converse?) Part B. 1) There exist an arbitrary x for all y (x+y=0). Is false but why? 2) For all x there exists a unique y (y=x^2) Is true but why? 3) For all x there exist a unique y (y^2=x) Is true but why?
