Bourbaki

Exercise 12, § 2

Functions of a Real Variable, I, 39

Bourbaki marks this one as harder than the rest.

Let ff be a differentiable real function on an open interval I, g its derivative on I, and [a,b][a, b] a compact interval contained in I; suppose that g is differentiable on the open interval ]a,b[a, b[ but not necessarily right (resp. left) continuous at the point aa (resp. bb); show that there exists cc such that a<c<ba < c < b and that

g(b)−g(a)=(b−a)g′(c) g(b) - g(a) = (b - a)g'(c)
(use exerc. 4 c) of I, p. 36).
