Let IR be the set of real numbers andf : IR be such that for all `x, y in IR`
`|f(x)-f(y)le|x-y|^3` Prove that f is a constant function.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`"We have "|f(x)-f(y)|le|x-y|^(3),xney`
`therefore" "|(f(x)-f(y))/(x-y)|le|x-y|^(2)`
`rArr" "underset(yrarrx)lim|(f(x)-f(y))/(x-y)|leunderset(yrarrx)lim|x-y|^(2)`
`rArr" "|underset(yrarrx)lim(f(x)-f(y))/(x-y)|le|underset(yrarrx)lim(x-y)^(2)|`
`rArr" "|f'(x)|le0`
`rArr" "|f'(x)|=0" "(because|f'(x)|ge0)`
`therefore" "f'(x)=0`
`rArr" "f(x)=c" (constant)"`
