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
