Question: In this problem, we shall prove that iff ( x ) and g ( x ) are suitably behaved functions, then f ( x )

In this problem, we shall prove that iff(x) and g(x) are suitably behaved functions, then f(x)f(x) dx g(x)g(x) dx
14
(f(x)g(x)+ f(x)g(x)) dx
We shall use this inequality to derive Equation 4.19 in the next problem. First, let A=
f(x)f(x) dx B = f(x)g(x) dx C =g(x)g(x) dx
Now argue that
[f(x)+ g(x)][f(x)+ g(x)] dx = A2+(B + B) + C
is equal to or greater than zero for real values of . Show that A>0, C>0, and that B + B0, and then argue that the roots of the quadratic form A2+(B + B) + C cannot be real. Show that this can be so only if
AC (B + B)2
14
which is the same as the above inequality.
