    MHB A property of solution of ODE y''+p(x)y=0

    Let $f$ be a solution of the following equation $y''+p(x)y=0$, $p$ is continuous on $\mathbb{R}$ such that $p(x)\leq 0$ for all $x\in\mathbb{R}$. Suppose that $f$ is defined on $[a,+\infty)$, $f(a)>0$, $f'(a)>0$, $a\in\mathbb{R}$ . Prove $f(x)>0$ for all $x\in[a,\infty)$. Any help would be...
