Following is a question I am stuck in.

Let $f : Bbb R to Bbb R$ be an infinitely differentiable function and suppose that for some $n ≥ 1$,
$$f(1) = f(0) = f^(1)(0) = f^(2)(0) = · · · = f^(n)(0) = 0$$
Prove that there exists $x in (0, 1)$ such that $f^(n+1)(x) = 0$.

It is a past question of an entrance exam.

I thought to use Rolle's Theorem, but this requires information about $f^(n) (1)$ that I am unable to get. Only information about behaviour at $1$ I have is $f(1)=0$

Hint: Well, think small. For $n=0$ it is trivial. So try to think about what happens for $n=1$ first. The result would read

If $f(1) = f(0) = f'(0) = 0$, there is $x in (0,1)$ such that $f''(x) = 0$.

How would one go about this? Ok, if $f(1) = f(0)$ there is $y in (0,1)$ such that $f'(y) = 0$. Now there is $x in (0,y)subseteq (0,1)$ such that $f''(x) = 0$, by Rolle's theorem again. Do you see the pattern?

Since $f(0)=f(1)=0, exists cin(0,1)$ such that $f'(c)= 0.$ Now since $f'(0) = f'(c)=0, exists d in (0,c)$ such that $f''(d)=0.$ Proceed.

Love the answers. Another method.

Taylor expansion:
$$f(x) = f(0)+ f'(0)x+dots + f^(n)(0)fracx^nn!+fracf^(n+1)(c)(n+1)!x^n+1,$$

$c$ is in the open interval between $0$ and $x$.
