(i) State the Mean Value Theorem. Use it to show that if f:(a,b)→R is a differentiable function whose derivative is identically zero, then f is constant.
(ii) Let f:R→R be a function and α>0 a real number such that for all x,y∈R,
∣f(x)−f(y)∣⩽∣x−y∣α.
Show that f is continuous. Show moreover that if α>1 then f is constant.
(iii) Let f:[a,b]→R be continuous, and differentiable on (a,b). Assume also that the right derivative of f at a exists; that is, the limit
x→a+limx−af(x)−f(a)
exists. Show that for any ϵ>0 there exists x∈(a,b) satisfying
∣∣∣∣∣x−af(x)−f(a)−f′(x)∣∣∣∣∣<ϵ.
[You should not assume that f′ is continuous.]
