How to prove $|xe^{-x^2}\int_{0}^{x}e^{t^2}dt-ye^{-y^2}\int_{0}^{y}e^{t^2}dt|<|x-y|$ for $x\ne y$

Let $x,y$ be distinct positive numbers. Show that $$\left|xe^{-x^2}\int_{0}^{x}e^{t^2}dt-ye^{-y^2}\int_{0}^{y}e^{t^2}dt\right|<|x-y|.$$ I found this problem when I was dealing with the problem below, but I can't solve it. Thank you. Show…

Integral inequality

Let $f$ be a continuously differentiable real-valued function on $[0,b]$, where $b>0$, with $f(0)=0$. Prove that $$\int\limits_0^b\frac{f(x)^2}{x^2}dx\leq4\int\limits_0^b f'(x)^2dx.$$ Thank you!

Prove with integration the inequality $e(\frac{n}{e})^n < n! < n \times e(\frac{n}{e})^n$

Prove with integration the inequality, I need some advice about how to start prove it. I know that if function is Monotonically increasing function so : $$ f(1)+\int^n_1f(x)dx\leq f(1)+f(2)+....+f(n)\leq f(n)+\int^n_1f(x)dx$$ $$e(\frac{n}{e})^n <…

A Expectation question

I'm not sure if the following statement is right or not. But it looks right to me though I don't know how to prove it. Can someone help? Suppose $X$ and $Y$ is independent and $EX=EY=0$, do we always have $E(|X+Y|)=E(|X-Y|)$ then? If so, how to…

$x+y+z+4xyz=2$ prove that$ xy+yz+xz\le 1$

Let $x$,$y$,$z$ be non-negative real numbers, for which: $x + y + z + 4xyz=2$ Prove that: $xy + yz + zx \le1$. I am sure this can be done with Cauchy-Schwarz or AM-GM, but I have long forgotten how to use those...Any help is appreciated !

inequality question with integrals

There is a question that, I think, has a definite answer, but I can't figure it out. Given are three real valued functions, $f$,$g$, $w$, of a real variable $x$. The functions are non-negative, i.e., $f(x) \ge 0$, $g(x) \ge 0$ and $w(x) \ge 0$ for…

How prove this integral inequality $\min_{x\in[0,1]}f(x)\ge-\int_{0}^{1}|f'(x)|dx$

let $f(x)$ can change sign in $x\in [0,1]$ and is continuous derivative function, show that $$\min_{x\in[0,1]}f(x)\ge-\int_{0}^{1}|f'(x)|dx$$ My try:since $f(x)$ change sign in $x\in [0,1]$, then there exsit $\xi\in [0,1]$ such $f(\xi)=0$. then…

Question on integral inequality

I am reading the following proof of integral inequality lemma: Let $b(t)$ and $f(t)$ be continuous functions for $t \geq \alpha$, and $v(t)$ is a differentiable function for $t \geq \alpha$. Suppose that \begin{equation} v'(t) = b(t)v(t) + f(t),…

Inequality involving the definite integrals of $\cos(x) f(x)$ and $\sin(x) f(x)$

This is a reposting of a previous question whose answer was accepted, but after having introduced a crucial difference in the hypothesis which would now require a different answer. Considering this trivial (at $a=\pi$) definite integrals…
