Question: Problem 4 . 3 7 . We will now prove Theorem 4 . 3 6 . Let d ( x ) = f ( x

Problem 4.37. We will now prove Theorem 4.36. Let d(x)=f(x)-g(x).
(a) What is d(xh) in terms of f(xh) and g(xh)?
(b) What is d(xh)-d(x) in terms of f(xh),g(xh),f(x), and g(x)?

(c) Recall that the limit definition of d'(x) is
d'(x)=limh0d(xh)-d(x)h
Replace the numerator of this expression with your answer from part (b).
(d) Rewrite your expression from part (c) as a limit of the difference of two fractions, one with f terms in the numerator, and one with g terms in the numerator.
(e) Now rewrite your limit as a difference of two limits, one with the fraction involving the f terms, the other with the fraction involving the g terms.
(f) In your new expression, you have two limits. One of the limits is
limh0f(xh)-f(x)h
which is equal to f'(x). What is the other limit equal to?
(g) Finally, write d'(x) in terms of f'(x) and g'(x).
Problem 4 . 3 7 . We will now prove Theorem 4 . 3
