Bound arc-length of certain continuously differentiable function $f:[0,1]\to[0,1]$

162 Views Asked by At

A continuously differentiable function $f:[0,1]\to[0,1]$ has the properties

(a) $f(0)=f(1)=0$

(b) $f'(x)$ is a non-increasing function of $x$.

Prove that the arc-length of the graph does not exceed $3$.

As I understand from the question that we want to prove that $\int_{0}^{1}f(x)dx <3$.

The first property give the conditions of Rolle's theorem implies that $f'(c)=0$, $c \in(0,1)$.

The second property gives the clue of the max value exists at $c$.

I tried to use first mean value theorem of integral, but no conclusion find.

Is there is any other technique to solve this question?
