1. For all x in [0, 1], let the second derivative ƒ''(x) of a function ƒ(x) exist and satisfy |ƒ''(x)| < 1. If
ƒ(0) = ƒ(1), then show that |ƒ'(x)| < 1 for all x in [0, 1]. [IIT - 1981; 4M]
2. If f(x) and g(x) are differentiable function for 0 £ x £ 1 such that f(0) = 2, g(0) = 0, f(1) = 6, g(1) = 2, then
show that there exist c satisfying 0 < c < 1 and f ¢(c) = 2g¢( c) . [IIT - 1982]
