Question

9. Suppose $0 < a < b$. (a) Prove that $(1 + \ln a)(b - a) < b\ln b - a\ln a < (1 + \ln b)(b - a)$. (b) Prove that there exists $c \in (a, b)$ such that $ae^b - be^a = (b - a)(c - 1)e^c$.

          9. Suppose $0 < a < b$.
(a) Prove that
$(1 + \ln a)(b - a) < b\ln b - a\ln a < (1 + \ln b)(b - a)$.
(b) Prove that there exists $c \in (a, b)$ such that
$ae^b - be^a = (b - a)(c - 1)e^c$.

9. Suppose 0 < a < b.
(a) Prove that
(1 + ln a)(b - a) < bln b - aln a < (1 + ln b)(b - a).
(b) Prove that there exists c ∈ (a, b) such that
ae^b - be^a = (b - a)(c - 1)e^c.
