I don't think the proof is correct: you use the mean value theorem, but that theorem only applies to differentiable functions. At that point you don't know yet that F is differentiable.
Modern proofs do not rely on geometry. This is a faulty approach. RoseParks
Where does geometry come into this?
Besides, proofs are either correct or incorrect. Whilst we should strive for elegance, an inelegant proof is still a proof. GWO
