Exercise 9, § 2

Functions of a Real Variable, I, 38

Let ff and gg be two finite real functions, continuous on [a, b][a,\ b], both having a finite derivative on ]a, b[]a,\ b[; show that there exists a cc such that a<c<ba < c < b and that

∣f(b)−f(a)g(b)−g(a)f′(c)g′(c)∣=0. \begin{vmatrix} f(b) - f(a) & g(b) - g(a) \\ f'(c) & g'(c) \end{vmatrix} = 0.
