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

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.

Lopital rule

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

Solved it thank you
