This questions has been bothering me for quiet a while

Does [tex]lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} f(x)=0 \Rightarrow lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} f'(x)=0[/tex] if so can you please post a proof because its giving me a headache. If not would it please be possible for you to give me a counter example.

Many thanks
