Problem Session 2, January 19, 2006
Suppose m f (x) M on [a, b] and that is increasing on [a, b]. Prove
that
Z b
m((b) (a))
f d M((b) (a))
a
If f is continuous, nonconstant, and is strictly increasing, prove that the
inequality is strict.
June 2003: Let f be a nonnegative, continuous function on [a, b] and let
Rb
be strictly increasing on [a, b]. Show that if a f d = 0, then f = 0 on [a, b].
June 2003: Let be given by:
0; 0 x < 1

June 2003: Let f : [1, 1] R be a bounded function. Let be given by:
(x) = 0 if x 0, and (x) = 1 if x > 0. Prove
R 1 that f R()[1, 1] if and
only if f (0+) = f (0). In this case show that 1 f d = f (0).
