    Let g be a function which can be differenciated four times on the interval [-1,1].
    Denote .

    1) Show that when g is a polynomial of degree less than or equal to 3.
    Proof. We consider four cases.

    Case 1. g is a polynomial of degree 0, that is, , C is a constant.
    In this case,
    Case 2. g is a polynomial of degree 1, that is, , C and D are constants.
    In this case, Case 3. g is a polynomial of degree 2, that is, , C , D and E ...
