Given a convergent sequence [tex]x_n \rightarrow x[/tex] and a function f, is
[tex] lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{f(x_n) - f(x_{n-1})}{x_n - x_{n-1}} = f'(x) [/tex] ?
I believe it it is, but I haven't been able to figure out how to prove it. Does anyone know of a proof or counter-example?
And probably should add [tex] x_n \not = x_{n-1} \forall n [/tex]
