Inequality In Real Number [closed]
$begingroup$
Can we find a constant $C$ independent on $a$ such that
$$(a+tau)^{mu}-a^{mu}leq C tau^{mu},$$
where $ainmathbb{R}^+,tauin(0,1)$ and $muin(1,2)$? I have found $C=1$ for $muin(0,1]$, but I couldn't find $C$ when $muin(1,2)$.

No such constant exists for any $mu>1$. To see this, let $f(x)=x^mu$ and observe that $f'(x)=mu x^{mu-1}$ goes to $infty$ as $xtoinfty$. It follows that for fixed $tau>0$, $f(a+tau)-f(a)$ goes to $infty$ as $atoinfty$ and so cannot be bounded above.
