Determine whether the following integral inequality holds

Suppose that $\int_0^1 f dx = 0$. Is it true that $$\left( \int_0^1 fg dx \right)^2 \leq \left( \int_0^1 g^2 dx - \left( \int_0^1 g dx \right)^2 \right) \left( \int_0^1 f^2 dx \right)$$ For context, this was stated as a true or false question on an…

Poincaré inequality 1D

I am trying to prove the following result that I find in a book and which is denoted as Poincaré inequality. Let $w$ be continuously differentiable on $(0,1)$. Then, $\int_0^1 w^2(x)dx\leq 2 w^2(0)+4\int_0^1 w^2_x(x)dx$ where $w_x$ denotes the…

Prove intergral inequality

If $f$ is a Riemann-integrable function on $[a,b]$ for which $\int\limits_a^b f(x) dx = 0$, and $m \leq f(x) \leq M$ for all $a \leq x \leq b$, then prove that $$\int\limits_a^b f(x)^2 dx \leq - m M (b-a).$$ My only idea how to use…

Inequality with definite integrals

This problem has been bugging me for days. A function $f:[0,\,1]\to[0,\,1]$ with $f(0)=0$ and $f(1)=1$ is strictly increasing and differentiable, with $f'$ also strictly increasing. (So $f$ is a convex function.) I want to show that…
