State the mean value theorem and deduce it from Rolle's theorem.

Use the mean value theorem to show that, if h:R→Rh: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} is differentiable with h′(x)=0h^{\prime}(x)=0 for all xx, then hh is constant.

By considering the derivative of the function gg given by g(x)=e−axf(x)g(x)=e^{-a x} f(x), find all the solutions of the differential equation f′(x)=af(x)f^{\prime}(x)=a f(x) where f:R→Rf: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} is differentiable and aa is a fixed real number.

Show that, if f:R→Rf: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} is continuous, then the function F:R→RF: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} given by

F(x)=∫0xf(t)dtF(x)=\int_{0}^{x} f(t) d t

is differentiable with F′(x)=f(x)F^{\prime}(x)=f(x).

Find the solution of the equation

g(x)=A+∫0xg(t)dtg(x)=A+\int_{0}^{x} g(t) d t

where g:R→Rg: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} is differentiable and AA is a real number. You should explain why the solution is unique.
