Taylor polynomials on a compact interval












0












$begingroup$



Let $I ⊂ mathbb{R}$ be a compact interval. Show that for every $f ∈ C^2(I , mathbb{R})$ it exists a $C > 0$ such that:



$|f(a)+f(b)-2f(frac{a+b}{2})|≤C(b-a)^2 $



$∀a, b ∈ I .$




Let $a,b ∈I$ and $a<b$, it exists by definition a $ξ_1∈(a, (a+b)/2)$ with



$f(a)=f(frac{a+b}{2})+f'(frac{a+b}{2})(frac{a-b}{2})+frac{1}{2}f''(ξ_1)frac{(a-b)^2}{4}$



and it exists a $ξ_2∈((a+b)/2, b)$ with



$f(b)=f(frac{a+b}{2})+f'(frac{a+b}{2})(frac{b-a}{2})+frac{1}{2}f''(ξ_2)frac{(b-a)^2}{4}$



Summing the two identities we get



$f(a)+f(b)-2f(frac{a+b}{2})=frac{f''(ξ_1)+f''(ξ_2)}{8}(b-a)^2$



How can I say that the first part of the right side is equal to $C$ and introduce the absolute value with ≤?
