The function is a piecewise linear sum of functions of the form which is minimum when
Of course, each can't be equal to each but we can make the equidistant from the
So that is the point where the function attains its minimum (also called the 'average')
In case is odd, we have is the required point
An example is below:
Here, our function is whose minimum value occurs at

part (c) 7.23. Let y(x) = n²x e-nx. (a) Show that lim, - fn(x)=0 for all x > 0. (Hint: Treat x = 0 as for x > 0 you can use L'Hospital's rule (Theorem A.11) - but remember that n is the variable, not x.) (b) Find lim - So fn(x)dx. (Hint: The answer is not 0.) (c) Why doesn't your answer to part (b) violate Proposition 7.27 Proposition 7.27. Suppose f. : G C is continuous, for n...
