Question concerning an application of Cauchy-Schwarz












1














Specifically, the question is as follows:




Prove that for every integrable real-valued $f:mathbb{R}rightarrowmathbb{R}$,
$$left(int_1^ef(x)dxright)^2leqint_1^ex(f(x))^2dx.$$




I'm really just looking for assistance getting started on this problem. It is homework, so I request hints, not a full solution. For reference, this was asked in the context of linear algebra, not real analysis.



I am able to show that
$$langle f,grangle=int_1^ef(t)g(t)dt$$
is an inner product on $L^2$. We have developed the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, but not Schwarz's inequality, so this question is presumably solvable simply using
$$|langle u,vrangle|leq|u||v|$$
(where $u$ and $v$ are elements of some vector space). So, setting $g=1$, we have
$$left(int_1^ef(x)dxright)^2=|langle f,grangle|^2leq(|f||1|)^2=(e-1)int_1^e(f(x))^2dx.$$
But I don't see how to draw the desired conclusion from here (so maybe I'm not approaching it right??).

  • @JavaMan You mean $v=sqrt{x}$?

  • @JavaMan Something like $left(int_1^efright)^2=left|int_1^efright|^2=|langle u,vrangle|^2leq(|u||v|)^2=left(sqrt{int_1^efrac{f^2}{x}}sqrt{int_1^ex}right)^2=int_1^efrac{f^2}{x}int_1^exleqint_1^exf^2$
