(a) State the Intermediate Value Theorem.
(b) Define what it means for a function f:R→R to be differentiable at a point a∈R. If f is differentiable everywhere on R, must f′ be continuous everywhere? Justify your answer.
State the Mean Value Theorem.
(c) Let f:R→R be differentiable everywhere. Let a,b∈R with a<b.
If f′(a)⩽y⩽f′(b), prove that there exists c∈[a,b] such that f′(c)=y. [Hint: consider the function g defined by
g(x)=x−af(x)−f(a)
if x=a and g(a)=f′(a).]
If additionally f(a)⩽0⩽f(b), deduce that there exists d∈[a,b] such that f′(d)+f(d)=y.
