Derivatives & L'Hôpital's Rule Explained

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the challenges of applying L'Hôpital's Rule and the definition of derivatives. Participants emphasize the importance of sharing personal attempts to solve problems as per homework guidelines. The conversation highlights the need to recall relevant theorems, such as the Mean Value Theorem, in relation to derivatives. There is confusion about differentiable concepts and their application to limits. Ultimately, the original poster expresses gratitude for resolving their issue.

Homework Statement
there be a function ##f(x)## continues in the section ##[1,2]## and Shearing in the Section ##(1,2)##. Suppose also that takes place ##\frac{f(2)}{f(1)}=2##. prove thet exists a ##c \in(1,2)## so that ##f(c)=c \cdot f_{(c)}^{\prime}##
My best attempt :
\begin{array}{l}
1<c<2,1 \leq f(x) \leq 2 \\
f(c)=c f^{\prime}(c) \rightarrow c=\frac{f(c)}{f^{\prime}(c)} \\
f(2)=2 f(1)
\end{array}

Tried to use the information to put it in the definition of derivative and lopital but I couldn't get to anything

:welcome:

I guess you have translated this question into English? I think I can work out that "shearing" means "differentiable".

According to the Homework guidelines you must post your best attempt to doing this yourself.

That's not a theorem.

That's for limits. What about the Mean Value Theorem?

I don't recall maybe I forgot , I'll be sure to check up on it now
