Question 4: Let \( f:[0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) be differentiable such that \( \left|f^{\prime}(x)\right|<1 \) for all \( x \in[0,1] \). Show that there exists at most one \( c \in[0,1] \) such that \( f(c)=c \).

Prove that the function $f$ given by $$f(x)=|x-1|, x \in \mathbf{R}$$ is not differentiable at $x=1$
Continuity and Differentiability
Continuity
Proof Prove that if $f$ is differentiable on $(-\infty, \infty)$ and $f^{\prime}(x)<1$ for all real numbers, then $f$ has at most one fixed point. [A fixed point of a function $f$ is a real number $c$ such that $f(c)=c . ]$ .
Applications of Differentiation
Rolle'cs Theorem and the Mean Value Theorem
Suppose $f$ is twice differentiable on an interval $I$ (i.e., $f^{\prime \prime}$ exists on $I$ ). Suppose that the points 0 and 2 belong to $I$ and that $f(0)=f(1)=0$ and $f(2)=1 .$ Prove that (a) $f^{\prime}(a)=\frac{1}{2}$ for some point $a$ in $I$. (b) $f^{\prime \prime}(b)>\frac{1}{2}$ for some point $b$ in $I$. (c) $f^{\prime}(c)=\frac{1}{7}$ for some point $c$ in $I$.
