Not for JEE

Like the title says, this is not JEE stuff, but if you have been following some of my recent posts, this may be worthwhile doing:

[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Cint_0%5E1%20f%28x%29%20%5C%20dx%20%3D%20%5Cint_0%5E1%20x%20f%28x%29%20%5C%20dx%20%3D%201[/im]

Prove that [im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Cint_0%5E1%20f%5E2%28x%29%20%5C%20dx%20%5Cge%204[/im]

No, the problem statement is complete.

Re: Not for JEE

We have, for a real [im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Clambda[/im],
[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Cint_0%5E1f%28x%29%28x+%5Clambda%29%5C%20%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7Dx%20%3D1+%5Clambda[/im]
Therefore, by Cauchy-Schwarz, we get
[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%281+%5Clambda%29%5E2[/im]
[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%3D%5Cleft%28%5Cint_0%5E1f%28x%29%28x+%5Clambda%29%5C%20%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7Dx%5Cright%29%5E2[/im]
[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Cle%20%5Cint_0%5E1f%5E2%28x%29%5C%20%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7Dx%5C%2C%5Cint_0%5E1%28x+%5Clambda%29%5E2%5C%20%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7Dx[/im]
[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B3%5Clambda%5E2%20+%203%5Clambda%20+1%7D%7B3%7D%5Cint_0%5E1f%5E2%28x%29%5C%20%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7Dx[/im]
Hence, we have
[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Cint_0%5E1f%5E2%28x%29%5C%20%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7Dx%20%5Cgeq%20%5Cdfrac%7B3%281+%5Clambda%29%5E2%7D%7B3%5Clambda%5E2+3%5Clambda+1%7D[/im]
Since this inequality must hold for all real [im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Clambda[/im], we must have
[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Cint_0%5E1f%5E2%28x%29%5C%20%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7Dx%20%5Cgeq%20%5Cmax_%5Clambda%5Cleft%28%5Cdfrac%7B3%281+%5Clambda%29%5E2%7D%7B3%5Clambda%5E2+3%5Clambda+1%7D%5Cright%29%3D4[/im]
with equality at [im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Clambda%20%3D%20-%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D[/im] and hence for [im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?f%28x%29%3D6%5Cleft%28x-%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5Cright%29[/im]

Re: Not for JEE

It was a nice one and took me  a while to figure it out. However, I enjoyed solving it. :)

Re: Not for JEE

Yeah, the Schwarz Bunyakovsky Inequality is called into play here:

I'll write out my solution, which is essentially the same as above, but  is a little more straightforward:

[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Cint_0%5E1%20f%28x%29%20%281+x%29%20%5C%20dx%20%3D%202%20%5CRightarrow%20%5Cint_0%5E1%20f%5E2%28x%29%20%5C%20dx%20%5Cint_0%5E1%20%281+x%29%5E2%20%5C%20dx%20%5Cge%20%5Cleft%28%5Cint_0%5E1%20f%28x%29%20%281+x%29%20%5C%20dx%20%5Cright%29%5E2[/im]

But [im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Cint_0%5E1%20%281+x%29%5E2%20%5C%20dx%20%3D%201[/im]

Hence the inequality follows

Re: Not for JEE

Well, I first did what you did. However, for equality we require f(x) to be proportional to (1+x). So if we took f(x)=k(1+x), then the condition
[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Cint_0%5E1%20f%28x%29%5C%20%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7Dx%3D1[/im]
give us [im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?k%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D[/im]. But with this k, our function at equality becomes
[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?f%28x%29%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%281+x%29[/im]
But with this function, the second condition [im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Cint_0%5E1%20x%20f%28x%29%5C%20%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7Dx%3D1[/im] does NOT hold. Further, in this case
[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Cint_0%5E1%20f%5E2%28x%29%5C%20%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7Dx%3D%5Cdfrac%7B28%7D%7B27%7D%5Cneq%204[/im]
So, your solution is not entirely correct.

Moreover, how did you get [im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Cint_0%5E1%281+x%29%5E2%5C%20%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7Dx%3D1[/im] ?

Re: Not for JEE

the problem, as usual, was: 1. i did this in my head 2. i did not bother to check the solution at the back :D

Apologies and thank you kaymant sir for the correct solution. Otherwise the students would have been misled
