If $f(x)≤x$ , then $f′(x)≤1$?

$begingroup$


I'm studying Calculus and having a trouble solving this question.



1) If $f(x)leq x$, then $f′(x)leq 1$ for all $x$?



2) What if $f(0)=0$, $f′(x)$ exists for all $x$?



I could easily find the counter example for 1) (Therefore it is false)



But I'm not sure about 2)



If $f(0)=0$ and $f′(x)$ exists for all $x$ &
$f(x)leq x$ , then $f′(x)leq 1$ for all $x$?



Please leave a comment if you don't mind :)

Draw the line $y=x$, and then draw any kind of squiggly function you want that stays below or touches the line. In particular, the function $f(x)=x-e^{-x}$ has $f'(x)gt1$ for all $x$, while $f(x)=x-{1over2}x^2$ satisfies $f(0)=0$ but $f'(x)gt1$ for $xlt0$.



Remark: The original version of the OP's question had two parts, with the condition $f(0)=0$ being added in the second part. The function $f(x)=x-e^{-x}$, of course, does not satisfy that condition.

      Let for example $f(x)=xsin x$, then $f(0)=0$ and for any real $x$ $f(x)leq x$. Then the derivative will look like this: $f'(x)=sin x+xcos x$ and so will exist for all $x$. Taking $x=2pi n$, where $n$ is positive integer we get $f'(x)=2pi n$, which evidently has no upper limitation.
