Homework Statement
Let f\in C^{1} on [0,1], and f(0)=f(1)=0, prove that
\int_{0}^{1}(f(x))^{2}dx \leq \frac{1}{4} \int_{0}^{1} (f'(x))^{2}dx
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
what is the trick to produce a 1/4 there? and how to make use of f(0)=f(1)=0? well I know that f(0)=0 gives a formula like f(x)=\int_{0}^{x} f'(t)dt and f(1)=0 gives f(x)= -\int_{x}^{1} f'(t)dt. But seems that I cannot go further.
Any small hint would be great, thanks!
