Day 126th IMC · Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria

Statement

Let f ⁣:(−1,1)→Rf \colon (-1, 1) \to \mathbb{R} be a twice differentiable function such that

2f′(x)+xf′′(x)≥1for x∈(−1,1).2f'(x) + xf''(x) \ge 1 \quad \text{for } x \in (-1, 1).

Prove that

∫−11xf(x) dx≥13.\int_{-1}^{1} xf(x)\,\mathrm{d}x \ge \frac{1}{3}.
