Show that a bounded subset of $C^1[a, b]$ is equicontinuous
Let $S$ be a bounded subset of $C^1[a, b]$. If $fin S$, $exists M>0$ s.t. $|f(x)|le M$ for all $xin[a, b]$. In addition, $f$ and $f'$ are continuous on $[a, b]$.
How do I proceed?

Counterexample: $f_n(x) = sin( pi n x)$ on $[0,1]$. We have $|f_n| le 1$, but $|f_n(x_n)| =1$ for $x_n =1/n$. Thus, we can not have $|f_n(0)-f_n(x)| <1$ for $|x| < delta$, where $delta>0$ is independent of $n$.

If you consider the norm $$|f|:= sup_{x in [a,b]} |f(x)| + sup_{x in [a,b]} |f'(x)|$$ on $C^1[a,b]$, then a set is bounded if and only if $|f| le M$ and $|f'| le M$ for all $f in S$. Thus for all $y >x$
$$|f(x)-f(y)| le int_x^y |f'(t)| , dt le M |y-x|.$$
This proves already that $M$ is equicontinuous.
$C^1[a,b]$ with this norm is a Banach space. Note that $|f|_2 := sup_{x in [a,b]} |f(x)|$ is another norm and now $C^1[a,b]$ is not a Banach space. In this case, the statement is false. Take as in my comment $f_n(x)=sin(pi n x)$ on $[0,1]$. We have $|f_n| le 1$, but $|f_n(x_n)|=1$ for $x_n=1/n$. Thus, we can not have $|f_n(0)−f_n(x)|<1$ for $|x| < delta$, where $delta >0$ is independent of $n$.
However, this property doesn't depend on the completness: We can take
$$|f|_3:= sup_{x in [a,b]} |f(x)| + sqrt{int_a^b |f'(x)|^2 , dx}.$$
And here we also have that a bounded set is equicontinuous. (We can argue as above in combination with the Hölder inequality.) But the space is not complete with this norm! (Just take sequence $g_n$ of continuous functions with $g_n rightarrow g$ in $L^2$, where $g$ is not continuous and set $f_n(t):= int_a^t g_n(h) , dh$. Note that $|f_n-f_m|_infty le sqrt{(b-a)} |g_n - g_m|_{L^2} $.)

If you consider the norm $$|f|:= sup_{x in [a,b]} |f(x)| + sup_{x in [a,b]} |f'(x)|$$ on $C^1[a,b]$, then a set is bounded if and only if $|f| le M$ and $|f'| le M$ for all $f in S$. Thus for all $y >x$

You say $S$ is a bounded subset of $C^1[a,b]$. Unless told to assume a nonstandard context, this should mean there exists $M>0$ such that $|f'(x)|<M$ for all $f in S$ and all $x in [a,b]$. In which case the result follows from the Mean Value Theorem.
