Let ff be an integrable real-valued function on the closed interval [0,1][0, 1] such that ∫01xmf(x)dx={0  form=0,1,…,n−1;1  form=n.\int_{0}^{1} x^{m}f(x) dx=\begin{cases} 0 \; \text{for} m=0,1,\ldots,n-1; 1\; \text{for} m=n. \end{cases} Show that ∣f(x)∣≥2n(n+1)|f(x)|\geq2^{n}(n+1) on a set of positive measure.
