Relationship with derivative

Let $F :[0,1]rightarrow mathbb{R}$ be a differentiable function such that it’s derivative $F’(x)$ is increasing in $x$. Then which of the following is true for every $x$,$y$ in $[0,1]$ with $x>y$.




  1. $F(x)-F(y) = (x-y)F’(x)$

  2. $F(x)-F(y) geq (x-y)F’(x)$

  3. $F(x)-F(y) leq (x-y)F’(x)$


4.$F(x) -F(y) = F’(x) -F’(y)$



If I take the function to be $F(x) = x^2$ and take $x = 1$ and $y= 0$ then $(x-y)F’(x) = (1-0)F’(1) = 2$ which is greater than $F(1)-F(0) = 1$ , so I’m thinking that the correct option should be 3, but I am not sure about my approach, I feel like a formal proof would require using limits, but I couldn’t figure out how exactly to go about it, can someone provide a way to formally prove it please.

          MVT:



          For $x>y:$



          $F(x)-F(y)= (x-y)F'(a)$ , $a in (y,x)$.



          Since $F' $ is increasing: $F'(y)le F'(a) le F'(x).$



          Hence 1)-3)?



          4) $f(t)=t^2$;



          $f(x)-f(y)=x^2-y^2= (x-y)(x+y)$.



          $=f'(x)-f'(y)=2(x-y)$.



          Now choose $x,y in (0,1)$(Why?) to rule out 4).



          Appended:



          Proof of option 3:



          We have MVT:



          $F(x)-F(y)= F'(a)(x-y) le$



          $F'(x)(x-y)$,



          since $F'(a)le F'(x)$, recall $y <a<x$.

            Thanks for the answer, I was actually looking for a formal proof, like if I wasn’t given the options and the question was to proove 3. then how would you go about it.

          3) is true (by MVT and the fact that $f'$ is increasing) and all others are false. Consider the function $f(t)=t^{2}$ to see that other options are all false.
