we have f x is differentiable and f x fx x 0 f x 0 for all x. <strong>And</strong> thus we have<br />

fx C R.<br />

(iv) Here is another proof by (iii) and Taylor <strong>The</strong>orem with Remainder term R n x.<br />

Proof: Since f is differentiable, by (iii), we have f n x f 0 n fx for all x.<br />

Consider x r, r, then by Taylor <strong>The</strong>orem with Remainder term R n x,<br />

Since r is arbitrary, we have proved that fx e cx for all x.<br />

(2) If f is continuous and non-zero, prove that fx e cx ,wherec is a constant.<br />

Proof: Since fx y fxfy, wehave<br />
