  • Session A

A-6. Suppose f(x)f(x) is a twice continuously differentiable real valued function defined for all real numbers xx and satisfying ∣f(x)∣≦1|f(x)| \leqq 1 for all xx and (f(0))2+(f′(0))2=4(f(0))^{2}+\left(f^{\prime}(0)\right)^{2}=4. Prove that there exists a real number x0x_{0} such that f(x0)+f′′(x0)=0f\left(x_{0}\right)+f^{\prime \prime}\left(x_{0}\right)=0.
