Given information
Note that given, is differentiable and .
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
You are correct if you only assume is differentiable on . If is discontinuous at the endpoints you could have a problem. The fact that is differentiable in the interior of the interval implies that it is continuous on the interior, but the endpoints could be troublesome.
Let and otherwise.
Therefore, for all .
