# Help: How to Proceed

This is a question from definite integrals which I am having doubts about. It is given that f(x) is a continuous function defined in the domain of [0,1] such that

$\int_{0}^{1} f^2(x)dx=[\int_{0}^{1}f(x)dx]^2$

We then have to find the range of f(x)

I tried applying Leibniz Differentiation on both sides.. but I have a feeling that won't work as the integrals may NOT be equal for any arbitrary value of x between 0 and 1(both inclusive) except for 1. Could anyone help? #Calculus #KVPY

Hint: Discretize the integration. What does that remind you of? Staff · 1 month ago

Sir do you mean express it as a infinite series with infinitesimal common difference(sigma)?... I don't know how to do that... · 1 month ago

OK sir... then? · 3 weeks, 6 days ago

1. What is the answer? What is the proof?
2. How does the discretized version relate to your original question?

Sorry if I'm being extremely dense.... my brain has been fried by such a simple problem! Could you please show me the answer and proof? · 3 weeks, 5 days ago
