Exercise :




Let $f:(0,infty) to mathbb R$ be a function such that $f in C^2$, $lim_x to infty xf(x) = 2$ and $lim_x to infty xf''(x) = 0$. If $x>0$, prove that for some $ξ in (x,x+1)$ it is
$$xf'(x) = fracxx+1(x+1)f(x+1) - xf(x) - frac12xf''(ξ)$$
and then calculate the limit $lim_x to infty xf'(x)$.




Question/Request : I need some help, hints or tips on how to prove the formula in the center of the question. The final limit asked is simple as you just use the formula proven, so no help needed on that.

  • Is the first term in the right-hand side what you meant to write? Because then $x+1$ would cancel out.

  • @ε-δ Was weird enough on when I was copying it from my textbook, but yes, according to it, this is the form of the expression.

I don't know why you would write the identity in this peculiar why, but this is just Taylor's theorem on the interval $[x,x+1]$. Since $fin C^2$, the theorem guarantees the existence of $xiin(x,x+1)$, so that $f(x+1)=f(x)+f'(x)+frac12f''(xi)$. Multiply by $x$ and you're done.
