Let : $\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a differentiable function such that $|\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})-\mathrm{f}(4)| \leq 2|\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y}|^{\frac{3}{2}} \forall \mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y} \in \mathbb{R}$ If $f(0)=1$, then $\int_0^1 f^2(x) d x=$
  1. $-2$
  2. $\frac{1}{2}$
  3. $0$
  4. $1$

Solution

$\because|f(x)-f(y)| \leq 2|x-y|^{3 / 2}$ $\Rightarrow\left|\frac{f(x)-f(y)}{x-y}\right| \leq 2|x-y|^{\frac{1}{2}}$ as $\mathrm{x} \rightarrow \mathrm{y}$, we get : $\Rightarrow\left|\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{y})\right| \leq 0$ $\Rightarrow\left|\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{y})\right|=0 \quad\{\because$ absolute value can not be negative $\}$ $\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(y)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow f(y)=c\end{aligned}$ $\because f(0)=1 \Rightarrow 1=c$ $\therefore \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{y})=1$ Now, $\int_0^1 \mathrm{f}^2(\mathrm{x}) \mathrm{dx}=\int_0^1 1 \mathrm{dx}=1-0=1$
