The discussion focuses on integrating the expression $\sin(u) + u^6$. The initial confusion arose from misplacing parentheses, leading to the incorrect interpretation of the function as $\sin(u + u^6}$. Clarification was provided that the correct expression is simply $\sin(u) + u^6$, which simplifies the integration process. The participant expressed gratitude after understanding the correct approach. Proper placement of parentheses is crucial for accurate mathematical interpretation and integration.

Get the parentheses in the right place! It's not $\sin(u+u^6)$, but $\sin(u) + u^6$, which is much easier to integrate.

Thank you very much
I understand now
 
There are probably loads of proofs of this online, but I do not want to cheat. Here is my attempt: Convexity says that $$f(\lambda a + (1-\lambda)b) \leq \lambda f(a) + (1-\lambda) f(b)$$ $$f(b + \lambda(a-b)) \leq f(b) + \lambda (f(a) - f(b))$$ We know from the intermediate value theorem that there exists a ##c \in (b,a)## such that $$\frac{f(a) - f(b)}{a-b} = f'(c).$$ Hence $$f(b + \lambda(a-b)) \leq f(b) + \lambda (a - b) f'(c))$$ $$\frac{f(b + \lambda(a-b)) - f(b)}{\lambda(a-b)}...
