Let k(x) = h(x) - g(x), where g and h are infinitely differentiable functions from R to R.

a. Suppose h'(x) = g'(x) for all x. Characterize the possible functions k(x).

b. Suppose h''(x) = g''(x) for all x. Characterize the possible functions k(x).

c. Suppose h''(x) = g''(x) for all x. Suppose further that k(0) = 0 and |k'(0)|< 1. Find the limit as n goes to infinity of k(x)n for |x|<1.

d. Define f(n) to be the nth derivative of a function mapping R to R. Suppose hn(x) = gn(x) for all x. Suppose k(x1) =  k(x2) = ... = k(xn) = 0 for

x1 < x2 < x3 < ...  < xn . Show that g = h.

Expert Solution
part a

By bartleby rules, only first three sub-parts have been answered

Given kx=hx-gx where h and g are infinitely differentiable functions from  to 

Suppose, h'x=g'x x

To characterize possible functions kx

Since, h'x=g'x x, therefore, 

h'x-g'x=0ddxhx-gx=0ddxkx=0kx=c, c= any arbitrary constant

So, when h'x=g'x x, in that case the function kx is characterized as a constant function.
