Suppose that $f$ and $g$ are continuous functions on $[a,b]$, prove...
$begingroup$
Not sure what to use here, would like some help. Thank you. These are Riemann integrals also.
My finished proof:
Since $f$ and $g$ are both continuous on $[a,b]$ then we have that $f$ and $g$ are both integrable on $[a,b]$. Using the proofs that $f^2,g^2,-2fg$ are all integrable on $[a,b]$ we have that $(f-g)^2$ is integrable on $[a,b]$ and that $(f-g)^2ge0$ implies:
$int_a^b(f-g)^2=int_a^bf^2+g^2-2fg=int_a^bf^2+int_a^bg^2-int_a^b2fgge0$
therefore,
$int_a^bf^2+int_a^bg^2geint_a^b2fg$
hence,
$frac{1}{2}(int_a^bf^2+int_a^bg^2)geint_a^bfg$
∎
real-analysis integration

This is a version of what's called the "AM-GM" inequality, in case you didn't know.

Hint:
$(f(x) pm g(x))^2 =f^2(x)+g^2(x) pm 2f(x)g(x) ge 0.$
$f^2(x)+g^2(x) ge 2 |f(x)g(x)|$.
Hence
$f(x)g(x) le |f(x)g(x)| le$
$ 2|f(x)g(x)| le f^2(x)+g(x)^2.$
