real analysis - Show a differentiable function has value of zero



Suppose g is differentiable over [a,b],g(a)=0, |g(p)|Q|g(p)| over [a,b] for some constant Q, show that g=0 over [a,b].



I was thinking about using the properties in the following link, Show a function whose derivative is bounded is also bounded in an interval
but not sure how to proceed. Thanks.


Answer



Fix x0[a,b] let M0=sup, M_1=\sup |f'(x)| for [a,x_0]. For any such x, |f(x)|\leqslant M_1(x_0-a)\leqslant A(x_0-a)M_0 Hence M_0=0 if A(x_0-a)<1. That is, f=0 on [a,x_0]. Proceed this process.
