Let the function f(x)f(x) have a finite derivative f′(x)f'(x) at every point of the finite or infinite interval (a,b)(a,b), and let

lim⁡x→a+0f(x)=lim⁡x→b−0f(x). \lim _{x \to a+0}f(x)=\lim _{x \to b-0}f(x) .

Prove that

f′(c)=0, f'(c)=0,

where cc is some point in the interval (a,b)(a,b).

Prove that if the function f(x)f(x) is twice differentiable on the infinite interval (x0,+∞)(x_{0},+\infty ), and

lim⁡x→x0+0f(x)=0,lim⁡x→+∞f(x)=0, \lim _{x \to x_{0}+0}f(x)=0, \quad \lim _{x \to +\infty }f(x)=0 ,

then there is at least one point ξ\xi in the interval (x0,+∞)(x_{0},+\infty ) satisfying

f′′(ξ)=0. f''(\xi )=0 .

Prove that if the function ff is differentiable on a finite or infinite interval (a;b)(a ; b) and there exist equal finite limits, or infinite limits of the same sign, lim⁡x→a+0f(x)\lim_{x \rightarrow a+0} f(x) and lim⁡x→b−0f(x)\lim_{x \rightarrow b-0} f(x), then there exists a point ξ∈(a;b)\xi \in (a ; b) such that f′(ξ)=0f^{\prime }(\xi ) = 0.

Let the function ff be differentiable for all x∈Rx \in \mathbb {R} and let lim⁡x→∞f(x)=0\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty } f(x) = 0. Prove that there exists a point ξ\xi such that f′(ξ)=0f^{\prime }(\xi ) = 0.

Let the function f(x)f(x) have a continuous second-order derivative on R\mathbb {R}, and suppose finite limits of this function exist as x→−∞x \rightarrow -\infty and x→+∞x \rightarrow +\infty. Prove that there is a point x0x_{0} such that f′(x0)=0f^{\prime }\left(x_{0}\right) = 0.

?

Let f∈C∞([0,∞))f \in C^{\infty }([0, \infty )), f(0)=lim⁡x→+∞f(x)f(0)=\lim_{x \rightarrow +\infty } f(x). Prove that for each n∈Nn \in \mathbb {N} the function f(n)f^{(n)} vanishes.
