The question states :
If 1<g<h then there's a real k∈]g;h[ such as ln(g)/ln(h) = exponential( (g-h)/(kln(k))
(g, h, k are all reals)
True or false ?
I assumed it's true ( but perhaps it's not, I have to prove it )
I'm 99% sure the mean value theorem is necessary here so I tried to use it randomly trying with ln :
(hypothesis)
k=(g-h)/(ln(g)-ln(h)), g=/=h
I chose ln because it's continuous and differentiable in ]1; +inf] and g and h are superior to one, so it rang a bell
but trying to solve this with this hypothetic k value didn't work, plus when I tested it on the calculator, results seemed to be wrong
Can I have an idea ? I really don't know where to start.
Thanks
