i didnt understand most of the problem... only at calc1 atm.. what cource level is that? 2? meh.

well for "Hint: Show that p must have at least one zero in [a,b]"
try using fund. theorem of calc. where:

y' for y = int[v(x),u(x)] f(t) dt = f(v(x)) v'(x) - f(u(x) u'x

you get f(t), which would be the function. find the roots/zeroes of the function to prove that a zero does exist, and find teh derivative of that to prove taht the function is constantly increasing or decreasing to show taht only 1 zero exists. im preaty sure there is something wrong with my logic here since the problem is of hgiher level than what i am doing now.
