Cauchy's Mean-Value Theorem

Cauchy's mean-value theorem is a generalization of the usual mean-value theorem. It states that if f(x) and g(x) are continuous on the closed interval [a,b], if g(a)!=g(b), and if both functions are differentiable on the open interval (a,b), then there exists at least one c with a<c<b such that

 (f(b)-f(a))/(g(b)-g(a))=(f^'(c))/(g^'(c))

(Hille 1964, p. 340).
