I’d like to use this as part of a proof, but I couldn’t realize how to show this (and if it) is true. The function is: f(x)=x+(1+ex)−1
Answer
f is differentiable at R, then by MVT,
f(a)−f(b)=(a−b)f′(c)
with a<c<b.
but f′(c)=1−ec(1+ec)2=1+ec+e2c(1+ec)2
⟹0<f′(c)<1
thus |f(a)−f(b)|<|a−b|
your statement is not true for f.
