Twice differentiable function


Assignment:

Let f: [a,b] --> R, a < b, twice differentiable with the second derivative continuous such that f(a)=f(b)=0.

Denote M = sup |f "(x)| where x is in [a,b]

and g:[a,b] --> R, g(x)=(1/2)(x-a)(b-x)

i) Prove that for all x in [a,b], there exists

Cx in (a,b) such that f(x)= - f "(Cx)g(x).

ii) Prove that if there exists x0 in (a,b) such that

|f(x0)| = Mg(x0), then f = Mg or f=-Mg.

Cx is a constant dependent on x ,

x0 is a particular x in (a,b)

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
